Very atmospheric although often more personal than entertaining or interesting. There are of course a variety of structures for novels and this has that rawness of unedited spontaneity. I kept wanting to correct the punctuation. But often the vocabulary is strange as if the author decides to hunt for the mot juste rather than deciding to restructure a sentence. Punctuation and grammar do often tend towards a movie script with lines of dots, and hyphens broken into short paragraphs that remind me of email text in which the author assumes the reader can do the work. There are paragraphs with every sentence starting with 'She' and rarely a sentence without it. The overall effect is like a literary gun being fired into one's face. I think that authors do need to earn the respect of readers and good authors can cajole us with their pretty words. I did not find that sort of pleasure in this book although it does, perhaps, have something to offer us.
