This has stayed with me much longer than I might have expected. I think I am a big Damon Galgut fan. It's an odd one, and sometimes the story is hard to believe, the locations hard to imagine, the characters not always so real, but the writing, filled with ennui is wonderful, and it's left me with a real feeling of bleakness (which is something I like in a novel). Adam Napier has failed in life - love, work, home - and moves into a decrepit house of his brother's. One day he is approached by a man - Canning - who greets him like an old friend and says they were at school together. Adam visits Canning's luxury house and estate, even though he can't remember the man, and meets his beautiful wife, Baby. But not everything is as lovely as it seems on the surface. It calls itself a thriller, but it was slower than a thriller would normally be. I listened to it.
