Review of 'Vertigo" by Boileau-Narcejac (Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac

Wow, what a book! A very short thriller with lots of narrative and emotional depth...it's the book on which the Hitchcock movie (which I've never seen, but will now) is based. Hard to say much about it without giving away the plot, but it's brilliant, and the atmosphere - of Paris during the Phoney War of 1940, and then the immediate post-War period, is brought to life with little details. I didn't see any of the twists coming.
