Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: April 12, 2017
When was the book published: 2016
Main Characters: Trudy who left John to be with his brother Claude, and the unborn baby who narrates
What happens? Trudy shacks up with Claude and plans to kill poet - husband John to inherit his house.  All told by the unborn baby who observes the action from the womb.
How long was this? 197 pages.  small.
Did I like this? Not one bit, painful - the whole premise, the rhodes scholar genius in the womb with the dense 1st person style, the whole plot.  Disappointing after the great "The Children Act"
