Book Review: Cereus Blooms At Night

I've finished reading, Cereus Blooms At Night by Shani Mootoo. A while ago I promised Alexa I would read it and post a review, so here goes.

The story opens with Mrs Ramchandrin, a convicted murderer, safely ensconced in a nursing home under the care of Tyler, a male nurse. At the beginning he states emphatically, "- for all the scant attention paid my presence, I am the one who ended up knowing the truth, the whole truth, every significant and insignificant bit of it."

From that point on, the story unfolds from the ending with lots of overlapping back story, revealing just enough at every juicy turning point to keep us page turning. I enjoyed the book and recommend it highly.
