I’ve adore all else I’ve read by this author, but the prose in this novel tumbled too often into the absurd for me to form any lasting relationship with the characters until towards the final 30 pages or so.

Wonderful, funny, dark, a lot of heart (literally); think Carter meets Ozick.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I got too annoyed with the disjointed writing to even finish it.
