    “I keep reading books about marriages disintegrating for some reason. I love Salter’s elusive prose, how you start to notice the cracks forming until bluntly they’ve announced themselves. Honestly sort of let down by the plot and how it wraps up but it’s worth the annoyance just for the writing and form.”
