After just a few pages I was thinking that I wasn't crazy about it, and wondering why it had gotten rave reviews. But I read on some, then more, and before I knew it, it was a pager-turner. Wow! Stunning work. Moving, and spare. Superb. I'm keeping this one for myself, just to see it on the shelf and remember the experience of it....
