Notes for book club:
This is such an interesting book. There is lots of dialogue, but no quotation marks.
I believe this is an omniscient narrator and I can't remember that last book I've read that employs that POV. Combined with the lack of puntuation, it was tricky to follow in spots.
The wrap-up chapter was so unusal. I didn't even remember some of the characters revisited.
But none of this is negative. Just different.
The characters were wonderful.
