This is a book about a woman who finds out that there is more than meets the eye to know about many people in her life - her husband, her friends, her ex-pat community. This is balanced by the secrets she herself keeps from everyone. The plot is complicated and the story pops back and forth in time, but the author does a good job of answering all the reader's questions. Sometimes you read a book that builds and builds and then just ends in a hurry. This book does a good job of rewarding the reader with an ending that answers questions and isn't too hurried or too drawn out.
Accepting that I read this after a great Graham Greene, even so I found it baggy, over-long and a bit of a chore to finish.
Not the kind of thing I usually read, but it was a real page turner.
Good story. Suspenseful. Plot moves along well. Good twists. Expect a movie version. http://www.wordandfilm.com/2012/03/alex-holmes-attached-to-pen-the-expats-adaptation/
