"Disquiet"

This small paperback book by Julia Leigh was given 3 stars in a Good Reads book review and the author is praised by Toni Morrison for her "deft prose." I would agree with the 3 star assessment. "Disquiet" was a quick read but I found it a little depressing. It is a book about abusive relationships and is filled with loss -- loss of missed opportunities, loss of relationships, and loss of life.

Julie Leigh has also written "The Hunter" which I may or may not decide to read. The San Francisco Chronicle calls "The Hunter" "a memorable debut...."
