This book is exquisite.

I came upon this book quite accidentally at the Portland library and couldn't feel more fortunate. Lesley Glaister constructs a sensitive and almost sinister novel that is unlike any you are likely to read. The characters are colorful yet firmly rooted in the real world and their stories resonate with a sombre humor. From the senile yet sensuous next door neighbor to the local child molester to a terrific surprise ending, 'Trick Or Treat' is as sublime as it is satisfying. I cannot reccommend this unexpected delight highly enough
