Eileen

Set in 1960's America this is a strange book that tells the story of a young women who is a loner from an abused background who forms an unlikely friendship with a young women at the detention facility in which she works. It builds suspense very well but I was disappointed with the story telling. A sure sign it will win the booker prize for which it has been longlisted. 5/10
