I'm having a hard time placing my feelings about this book. One one hand I felt absolutely encaptured by the narrative and the two stories we follow, thinking about them every time I put the book away, and looking forward to returning to them. On the other hand I don't know that I quite understood it all. I'm sure there's some symbolism that's going over my head, but the snakes and the talking cats didn't quite make sense to me. And while it didn't make sense, that also didn't bother me. So I don't know. Maybe I just need to let it simmer in the back of my mind for a while.
