The first thing that struck me, after reading just a few pages of this book, was the quality of the writing - beautifully descriptive without being flowery. I enjoy reading in a different English - in this case Australian - there are unfamiliar words and different nuances in the language usage.
I found the linking of the stories very interesting and it was this that kept my attention. I rather regret not taking notes so I could keep track of some of the recurring characters and events. I thought that the book might be described as a kind of literary cubism - showing things from multiple points of view.
I will certainly be keen to read more by this author.
