Many a long-cheated stomach should welcome it with enthusiastic rumblings. The story starts plainly and unprepossessingly enough, like any drab, overpopulated family novel: it is laid in dull, provincial, middle-class English surroundings-but instead of developing soporifically or solemnly, pseudo-tragically, pseudo-greatly, Greenbanks gradually, increasingly, compellingly turns into that rare phenomenon: a very good book...
