Review: 

If you need pacey action in your books, then this is not for you. Rather, it is the beautifully written tale of a woman with a 'condition', who needs to find and talk to the man who found the dead body of her lover. This book is moving and sensitively written, especially the last few pages, exploring the vulnerability of love and memory. I loved this book, and would gladly recommend it to individual readers and groups alike, who will mull over it long after the last page is read. We are confident that Jerome's cathartic experience will help him to move on, but what will happen to Sylvia?
