The Slaughterman's Daughter

Well, that was a bit weird. Sometimes funny, often brutal but utterly confusing (and it doesn't take a lot to confuse me). So many names, so many characters to deal with, some of which had more than one name (I think) and the meandering prose didn't help with it's many many tangents. BUT, I sort of did enjoy myself just not as much as I wanted to.

I will finish with these wise words that an old lady in the Hospital waiting room said to me while we were discussing the benefits of well stocked spice racks.

“If ever a book needed a glossary of terms it's this one”.
