What is it about?
Frieda Klein's past intrudes harshly on the present, when a young girl she counsels tells a story of rape that bears a remarkable similarity to something that happened to Frieda herself, more than twenty years ago.
Worth the read?
I give it 9/10, definitely my favourite Frieda Klein story so far. The characteristic bluntness is still present in French's writing, but my perception of Frieda as a slightly chilly character has been softened by this view into her history, and her efforts to rekindle some kind of contact with her estranged mother.
