This is a strangely touching, very disturbing, mysterious and sometimes frustrating novel. Still ... it has its merits. I didn't find much in it that was humorous. Mostly, it's sad, and so full of palpable lonesomeness that it's far more heartbreaking than hilarious. But I do think it's worthwhile reading, particularly for the stream of consciousness chapter that focuses on the Sara's sister -- I forced myself to slow down to read it through ... and that particular chapter is, in fact, the most gratifying of them all! I do recommend it, because it is so different and so (ok, I have to say it!) haunting, and because by the last page I had, to my own surprise, tears on my cheeks.
