One of the strangest books I've read in a while with a mysterious and distant protagonist. The writing style is intriguing and gripping. The turn of events bizarre. While the main character detaches herself from society, it seems she holds up a mirror to show that her society may be a bit detached and bizarre itself. Fascinatingly weird.
