Customer Reviews

Wonderful and Unusual

I got this book as a gift, and it sat on my shelf for nearly a year. Couldn't get into it at first, took me a couple of tires, but when I finally got into it WOW! This is a powerful, wonderful and unusual statement about idenity and loss. The lanuage is lyrical and touching, the narrator is compelling. This is one hell of a book.

A Masterpiece!

Glorious

I finished this novel three evenings ago and am still folded within it. Thank you a thousand times to the author.
