Librarian’s Comments
A real black comedy/drama with plenty of moral and ethical questions to be answered. Some of the events portrayed aren’t particularly savoury, but it’s an intriguing story nevertheless with many twists and delemmas. There are some uncomfortable moments especially with the main character and some of the dispassionate and morally ambiguous views he holds. Much enjoyed story by all our panel.
