I'm not sure about this one: it's a strange mixture of too much info, & not enough. There’s a lot about Englishness in the times we live in (France and Belgium play big roles in the background but so does London), bound up with a grief memoir - I just wasn't expecting that. The writing is consistently good: it's the sudden shifts in tone and large gaps in the life story that make for an uneven but still engaging read. I don't think the author's been helped by a cover & title unsuited to what's inside. How about a nice piece of cake on the cover for any reprints? Cake is big in this book.
