I am not sure how I learned about this book....probably one of the "Recommended Books" articles I read. In any event, I am glad I read it. It's definitely a perplexing book; the story rambles around and shifts back and forth in time. It introduces characters so haphazardly that I kept having to go back to see who they were, but they hadn't been mentioned before. The writing is lovely, but was sometimes challenging for me. Here's what Kirkus says about the book:
Funny, original, and overflowing with wisdom—this is an absolute delight of a debut.
And I do agree. It will be interesting to see what comes next from this author.
