註釋A contemporary novel charting the rise and decline of relationships set in a modern Britain; relationships set against the lives and privilege of the mega rich to the despair of down and outs. As the relationships develop between Sally and David, Michelle and Simon, contrasted with Sarah's destructive drug fuelled affair with Peter, Sally's privileged upbringing and relationship with her father is scrutinised. The power of great wealth is set against the ordinariness of the other characters' backgrounds. The heart of the book however highlights the ongoing and unstoppable repercussions of Peter's actions. He is a hard, greedy and unfeeling man. As a direct result of Peter's actions and manipulation of a vulnerable Sarah, there is a later breakdown of David and Sally's relationship and the disintegration of the friendship between Sally and Michelle. The book boldly ends with a series of tragedies. This novel certainly engages with the reader and leaves us wanting more.
