Excellent book, the real "blockbuster" that it is hard not to read in one sitting. The first chapter - one such model for all writers - borders on perfection so it puts us in good situation and outlines the actors and the plot as in a conventional theater. "Not lost jobs for stealing but for not stealing the diamond earring." One begins to get excited about the adventures of the characters themselves very daintily described. You want to laugh with heroin, crying with her and her children, especially the delicious little good in mathematics. The description of the "gap" between social classes and educational Britons is relevant when one is familiar with that country. The "happy ending" is a little far-fetched with the "deus ex machina" ultimate predictable, but overall this is a very good book, recommander.l
