I picked this book up years ago at Brookline Booksmith in their suggestions for a winter read. I love winter and its coziness. This book is certainly not about winter's coziness.
This novel felt like a brain exercise. The writing is complex, the characters are confusing, and it's all a bit hard to follow, but it's supposed to be. I enjoyed reading it - it felt like a parable in some ways. I didn't love it, although I think it would be much better to read in a class. I can imagine it starting many discussions, particularly before the ending is revealed.
