I listened to this book on a 1200 mile trip coming home from a funeral. I don't know what this book is like to read but it is a marvelous book to listen to. It kept me engaged and present at a time when I did not want to continually go over the death and funeral I had just attended, so this book worked to keep me focused and not obsessed with the pain of the funeral. It is very lyrical and operatic, I think the author wrote the book as if he was writing an opera and it certainly is an opera including music but very little. If you have a chance to hear this book on tape grab it.
