blackheath: has anyone read it? Just finished and thought it was...

Fecking awesome. Really enjoyed it. Plus mumsnet gets a one line mention- What's not to like? I have read much parenting in fiction, this was the best I'd read...

A bit of a chilling insight into the lives of others. I couldn't relate to the Fay Weldon blurb “this is a book by a man who understands women better than they understand themselves”... skilfully crafted, tho...

Gawd, what an awful patronising quote! That would have put me off if I'd read it (I got it on kindle)

I thought he did 'James' by far the best - he certainly was the one I related to the most - and I thought he explored the minutiae of being a parent - not from a male or female viewpoint in particular- very, very well.
