"Five quarters of the orange" by Joanne Harris
I didn't really enjoy this book. I read it with a sense of foreboding from the outset. I found it painfully slow as it built to the finale, which seemed obvious rather than a surprise. I found all the characters vile in their own way. It did make me think about good and evil in different contexts. However most of all I struggled to understand the behaviour of a 9 year old and her hatred of her mother. 3 stars out of 5. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127684380-five-quarters-of-the-orange-inscribed-and-signed-by-author
