Nick of Time
Well-done, though gloomy. I don't insist on charm and cheerfulness, but possibly I prefer it. (Oof--exceptions like Coetzee spring immediately to mind.) Very spot-on, very English, very messy in terms of situation, though not messy to read. Tense and unflinching about power and attraction and second-by-second modulations of those. The mood of the book is uneasy, flowing forward, like Wagner.
To whom would I recommend: fans of Murdoch or May Sarton's novels maybe, of Kiran Desai and Zadie Smith more likely. Maybe also Adiga for the underclass thing and thumbing one's nose at redemption.
