Review 208: Putney

Putney by Sofka Zinovieff
My rating: 3.75 of 5 stars

3.75 stars, I should round up, but...
wasn't sure about reading this, well I did. The beginning really was difficult reading with this man in his 30's going after a child, for years, although waiting until she is barely a teenager for anything serious. It's wrong, wrong, wrong.

But the writing was good. And...there is, through time, a reckoning, an understanding. This isn't Lolita, something more satisfying instead, somehow.

not an easy book.

I received a free copy of this book at a library conference. I was not required to write a review, but felt like it and, of course, the above opinions are my own.
