A very interesting read that kept me guessing almost to the end. Very expertly crafted, with every part of the mystery slowly unraveling and finally connecting impressively cleanly.
The charcters are very complex, as are the relationships, and the supernatural aspect serves more as an illustration of grander societal and personal issues than as horror in the usual sense. Beautifully written, almost poetic.
