Well written with moments of emotional intensity. Marianne was a very believable tragic character, unable to process and deal with her feelings while swept up in the contrast between her stifling parents and the swinging sixties. I understand this was probably intentional, but almost all the high impact moments seemed to be over too soon. The tragedy that hits Marianne and Hugo, and the final reveal about Simon, being the key ones. I'd have loved a clearer window into Simon's feelings.
