Thanks to Recorded Books, Inc. and Libro.fm for my free audio copy!
I love a weird book, and this is definitely one, but I don't think it quite hung together. I was never sure how the fantastical elements figured in the story -- figments of the narrators imagination or actual supernatural happenings? I also didn't understand the motivation of many of the characters, so their actions didn't make a lot of sense to me. But the story still manages to be evocative, drawing out emotions like yearning and dissatisfaction. It reminded me of Braised Pork, which I just realized is by the same author, and that makes total sense.
