A beautifully and fluently written story full of "squeeze" scenes.
The author also embellishes the events with photographs and presents them to us, the readers.
If you ask my opinion, I do not like the presence of photographs (because there are too many of them!).
As for the reason, it prevents the reader from visualising the protagonists "in our imagination" and
therefore it prevents our fantasies...
My second critical point is the physical beating of Shazia by her husband.
I do not understand why the author went this way !?
If the husband felt that his masculinity and character were being trampled on and that it hurt him deeply,
his reaction to Shazia could "maybe" be non-verball, but certainly not in the form of physical violence.
He had to show Mark and Robert (especially but not exclusively Mark) both non-verbally and given as
physically and let them know their limits...
The author says the second part will be different. I am looking forward to that too.
The author is one of the few authors who manages to write in this style, fluently and with a rich explanatory
language, and I ask him to continue in this way.
In this sense
All the best
