The Light of Day

Graham Swift

Doreen really liked this book. Very well-constructed - although the story jumps back and forward in time this is well done and not confusing. A very touching book. Gill and Andrew had also read this book. Gill didn't like it, possibly because the story centers on a private detective and Gill doesn't like detective stories, finds them a bit clichéd. There is no real plot and from the second chapter it's completely clear what's going on. A quick, easy read but Gill was not impressed.

Andrew quite liked this book - the best Swift book for a while. He liked the portrayal of the tight-lipped detective - very effective.
