 Perhaps Moore's best book May 9, 2002
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
All Moore's books are worth reading (which is more than you can say of most authors) but this is his first and perhaps his best. If only more self-consciously artsy writers were forced to read this book before putting pen to paper ! In one line Moore can say more than most of the competition do in 10 pages. For a first novel it is almost unbelievably well written and darkly funny concerning the protagonist's hopeless attempts to hide her alcoholism.
A gripping and fascinating read July 19, 2000

I've read this book several times, and it's never failed to entertain. Short enough to read in one afternoon, Brian Moore gives us insight into Ms.Hearne's mind with clarity of detail that I found stunning.
 An acute insight into one woman's life January 23, 1999
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I came across this as a result of reading Brian Moore's obituary. Written from Judith's perspective it is a thought provoking insight into loneliness and desperation. We have all experienced these emotions to some extent and whilst recognising how easy it is to succumb to them, Brian Moore has made it almost impossible to empathise with her or indeed any of the characters in the novel. A compulsive but comparatively quick read.
