Dark. A local/domestic situation where the “best lack all conviction, while the worst/Are full of passionate intensity.” The characters are drawn with great skill and subtlety; I just didn’t like any of them very much. Nor did I find the narrator’s throwaway observation that one can escape the consequences of one’s actions but not one’s character a very reassuring conclusion to the story.

A haunting piece of writing

Manipulation of facts an memory like few others.

Evil /duplicity affecting the innocent
