1. my sister loved it

I've been meaning to read it for some time now. And since I learned that an ancestor was a gardener of some sort in the Cromwell estate, I'm interested anew.

2. It was pretty good

It didn't seem particularly gory to me, although the opening scene was pretty awful. It wasn't my favorite on the Man Booker shortlist, though, although I didn't read all of them. I loved "The Children's Book" by A S Byatt, and I thought it was a better book.
