biblio_mom's review
Shortlisted for the orange prize and I cannot seem to find the reason to that.
I yawned many times. It bored me out so much. The writing style is there, but the story is just peculiar. Maybe this particular story full of symbolism, dreams, mental illness and family history is just not for me.

doulicia's review against another edition
2.0
Is it me? I think it's me. I think I'm too shallow to understand what's happening in this book. Or possibly too in vacation mode to care. I think I know the arc of the story, but could not tell which parts were "real" and which were mystical-dream-state-insanity-recollections. Meh.
