Reception
The New York Times Book Review said the book's non-linear narrative "offers possibilities for the evocation of a ravaged psyche, yet in this novel the result is an almost complete lack of narrative tension. The sequencing reflects neither chronology nor emotional logic".[2] Library Journal said it possessed "memorable style and strong character development [that] weave a heartfelt story that will be remembered by all readers".[1] Booklist said it is a "curious book to read – satisfying, certainly, for the evocative quality of the writing but unsatisfying in what is left out of the story. However, this book is well worth reading".[3]
Publishers Weekly found it "heavy-handed" whereas Kirkus Reviews said it was "intelligent and uncommonly sensitive".[4][5]
