I could not get into this book, and after struggling through a couple chapters, I gave up. The writing style was just too abstract for me. Things went on for paragraphs and I wouldn't know what was happening, only to realize NOTHING was happening. A lot of words around very little plot. Here's a sample of a single sentence:

I was spoiled, I knew it - but her lovers knew they must please me if they were to win the love of my mother - and what I knew and they knew made for a kind of laughing friendshp between us with the young men (they were invariably younger than Maman, though I didn't konw it then) vying with one another to buy me ice cream made from pistachio nuts, or lollipops with the face of Pierrot painted on, or whatever novelty I craved.
