I read this once before but the only thing I remembered wasn't in it this time. It must be me that's changed. I feel like I must not have understood it last time, although I kept it all these years because I remembered enjoying it. It's probably been 15-20 years.
My memory tricks are strangely apt, for a book which plays with the nature of memory.
It's a fascinatingly rich tale, which I still can't fully understand. I enjoyed the comic relief of Padma. Hopefully I can read it in another 15-20 years and perhaps that extra maturity will allow me further insight.
