Summary: Delightful!
Review: Well, I shoved the rest of my life aside for this one. What a treasure! Charming, witty, with hilarious portrayals of Arthur Beauchamp's island neighbours....On the other hand, an extremely intelligent and surprising examination of sexual passion gone awry -- with a courtroom trial that ended in a way that I'd never have suspected. A thoroughly engrossing story, written with depth and compassion for every character. A sumptuous feast -- read it!
