A book which weaves back and forth between the purported "author" in the first person, and an aunt called Esme, who is now an old woman in a mental institution, and her memories told in the first person also, It took me a bit to catch on to this, as the shifts wereabrupt and marked only by dashes (as I recall). A very interesting story, but one that comes to a startling end, which I will not disclose. Left me with an unsettled feeling, but thinking about the book for a long time.
