This is a very weird book. I don't quite know what to think about it. I liked the story, the mystery and it's resolution. The afterword was lovely. The writing is quite beautiful and extremely atmospheric. The setting is unique.
However. It is very dark. It is also almost constantly gross, most of the time unnecessarily so... So be warned..
