Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller is quite an original book. It's a historical novel set in the 60s centred upon a group of "lost" people in a country house engaged in various restoration projects. All of them have issues in their pasts and are struggling in different ways to deal with them. They are flung together and strange things start to happen. It's not exactly a page-turner but because it doesn't neatly fit into an established format or genre you really have no idea what's going to happen. 7/10
