Meh. I liked this book at the start, and it was OK up to the point that the protagonist goes from Perth to Prague. The point of the Prague visit was really unclear to me. I presume the author wanted to go there herself, so she decided to weave a Prague visit into the story? Sure, it's about mental illness, so we can expect the unpredictable, but to me the Prague part just didn't tie well enough with the Perth part. I will now cross Ms Jones off my reading list, having read both of her novels and finding them both somewhat underwhelming. ( )
