This was a quick, interesting read. There was no mystery for me in the plot, it wasn't hard to draw the conclusions Gu was leading us to. I really appreciate Hornclaw's character, a woman in her sixties who uses other people's dismissal of her to her advantage. What a strange and unique life she lead! She's tough but she has soft spots.
