Title: Bennett's Little Surprise
Review: Alan Bennett has amazing instincts. Here he has indulged an apparent whim and it works wonderfully. Having lost all of their possessions, the Ransomes are confronted with new perspectives about the more substantial losses within their affectionless marriage. This is a mannered novel with a modern, surreal twist. Bennett manages to capture a more fully realized plot than many authors are able to do in much longer novels. Respected for his talents as a playwright, Bennett's little gem deserves as much acclaim.
