Levy's use of four character voices means that this book is slightly unbalanced, because the Hortense character never becomes properly compelling. Still, what we get in the rest of them is either interesting, compelling or moving. The development of Gilbert's character is genuinely touching and, while the ending has some moral quandaries attached, this ultimately proves itself a very fine novel indeed.
