Sometimes the writing in a novel is so good that one can stomach the smut, just to keep pushing forward to the end. Ali Smith's writing style is somewhere between prose and poetry, but is either way VERY compelling and very creative.
Without giving too much away, the story is about a family vacationing in Norfolk, England. The plot revolves around a mysterious summer visitor and each chapter takes a look at the situation from the viewpoint of a different family member. The smut is annoying, but it could be much worse.
I won't be reading this one again, but I'll definitely check out each new book of hers that I come across. I recommend it....with my smut disclaimer.
