its study on the characters' psyche is perhaps my favorite aspect of the book. its structure also adds mystery to the plot, while the theme of mother-daughter relationships (and the book clearly has that in abundance) is highlighted time and again either stirringly, touchingly, or thought-provokingly.
though i do feel that the ending is a bit rushed and there's some loopholes in logic, ultimately, i appreciate this book for affirming that we're all human and everyone's just trying their best.

There's a conflict involving adoption of a child which the mother wants to keep, which could be distressing for some readers.lory_poree's review against another edition
