The Listener Book

A very strange story and one that was very difficult to read. The author's style left me so confused about the characters she created and the problems they encountered. The main character, Dr. Harrison, is a psychiatrist in a mental institution. This place evidently treated only the wealthy because the patients were allowed to bring a servant along with them! The majority of the clients suffered from the effects that WWII created for them. The atrocities they witnessed and sometimes participated in left them reeling and unable to forgive themselves. The book left me with so many unanswered questions, but by the time I had finished reading it I didn't care anymore!
