This is an excellent novel. Unfortunately, after I ordered it, the seller discovered that he or she did not have the copy I ordered. Hence, I never saw the Folio Society edition, the one I wished for.

Another superbly written book from an author whose native language is not English. Here, ineptness has far-reaching consequences.
