There were aspects I would have liked to have seen developed more and things I didn’t see coming because they were out of character etc.
Interesting read, not sure if I would re read it though.

I loved this book overall. Occasionally the way that Lily talked about Abel — her husband suffering from dementia who is unable to care for himself and does not respond or communicate — was pretty painful to read. She loves him very much and is devoted to his care, but at a few points there are some ableist sentiments (“burden,” “drooling thing”) that readers who are sensitive to such things should be aware of.kris386's review

adamantane's review
Not quite as fantastic or poetic as Clive Barker, though there are some bits reminiscent of his earlier stuff (regardless of what the back cover says).
