I didn't find this book as dark as I remembered it, although I had forgotten almost everything that happened. I did find the characters reasonably sympathetic and their motivations understandable, and even in her early years Howatch's writing style stands out as concise, yet deep. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed this so much if I hadn't read her later work; it probably wouldn't even be in print still if she hadn't had such success with her recent novels. But it was a good book - surprisingly so - and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a low-key thriller with some suspense but no gore. ( )
