Oh I agree. It's her most subtle and well structured yet. But for me that's what makes the emotional impact so much more pronounced. I spent a day reading the middle chunk of the book where Kay and Helen are falling apart but Kay doesn't know it, and actually felt so depressed that it ruined my whole day. Especially when Helen forgot to wear the pyjamas.
But it is the best thing she's written yet and I will read it again for fun with less of a sensation of watching trains crash.

Lizzie you are not allowed to read this because you haven't read the book.
