" I was impressed by this book, but didn't like it. The craft is obvious - it's difficult to write a book where such a passive character is telling the tale, and one where everything is so circuitous. It's almost like a mystery novel - you find out details early on that don't fit in until later. But the characters are so unpleasant and the story so lackadaisical and convoluted that I had difficulty getting into the story, and didn't enjoy it much. Great discussion at book club, however. "
