Like the publisher said: Less war than I expected, and more of the fantastic. Her refusal to use quotation marks is delicious. You get to pop in and out of everyone's head while maintaining cinematic focus. It's so good, y'all. It's so good.

Less even than Death in Spring but still wonderful, like a Buddhist Romance.

I was swept up in this. It carried along nicely through all the vignettes and built to a satisfying end.

While not as impressive as A Broken Mirror, this is still a strong picaresque-esque novel. Very episodic, to the point where each individual story didn't seem to matter much. However, there are beautiful moments scattered throughout the narrative.
