Before I read the book I had listened to it on Radio 4. It tells the story of the relationship of a hypochondriac mother and her daughter.
The dialogue to be intelligent, and funny
The whole book had a dreamy, bizarre, disjointed feel that was both intriguing and confusing.
Although I did really enjoy this book I couldn't help but feel that I was missing the main message of the book. There are metaphors aplenty - stinging jellyfish called medusas, a chained-up dog, a shattered computer--I could go on. I found it hard to enjoy the story because I was constantly struggling to understand the deeper meanings.
