Novel take on Britain in the 1950s flatters to deceive
The Well Deceived
by Isaac Kuhnberg
(Clink Street Publishing, £9.99)
READING this novel is a little like singlehandedly putting a cover over a double duvet — a real struggle.
The pseudonymous author attempts to create a world marginally out of register with that of Britain in the 1950s and the reader is trapped for a time in a parlour game of working out what geographically is what, with Alba being Scotland-ish and Anglia England-ish.
