Set in London, this novel explores the professional and private life of Fiona Maye, a judge in the family court.  Even in the title, there is an added layer of meaning, and this elegance of style continues throughout dramatic storytelling.  I would recommend this book for its immediacy and clarity in describing Fiona's thought processes.  I learnt so much about the legal world, and even the intricacies of classical music.  Educational and entertaining!
