I thought I'd read a few pages before going to sleep last night, but I wound up reading it straight through to the end. Precise is psychologically true. The protagonist is finding her way out of a horrible childhood and into an adult life, hampered by the weight of a disturbed, and disturbing, mother. it is well-written and left me with an interest in following the author on to other books. Psychological truth does not always leave room for dynamic characters and I found the story undermined by under-development of the three male characters. While her friend, her father and her husband are drawn in outlines, the mother and daughter are front in center in a battle to survive. Precise is very worth reading!
