Usually, when someone says they’re unsure about a book, that normally would indicate alarm bells to me. Having said that, that’s the complete opposite for this book!
While the plot itself is nothing new- a upstairs/downstairs relationship set in the modern world- the writing is like a breath of fresh air- Ambler is a unique writer but in a way that actually actively engages the reader- for example look out for the word “butling”.
Ambler is superb at understanding her characters and fully developing them; in lesser writers the feelings of the characters could be seen as superficial, whereas Ambler writers in a way that you simultaneously want to smack heads together while also totally understanding the characters!
A good way to describe this novel is “quirky”- while normal a domain of badly written prose, in this novel it’s the opposite- it’s quirky and enjoyable and you tend to develop feelings for the characters.
