5.0

A gem of a book. Mesrobian's writing has never been more beautiful than it is here, and this slight novel features characters both historical and contemporary. Readers can always expect Mesrobian to explore the complexities of sex and love, and that is on full display here. This is a hauntingly beautiful novel, probably not for everyone, but an absolute diamond in the rough for readers who like their fiction a little bit abstract, their characters more than a little messy.
