![]() ![]() It makes the whole book feel disjointed and unweildy, and I realised that the main narrator had little to do with the overall story, making her essentially a pointless narrator and more of a device to give the illusion of real connection between the characters' separate stories. Although the characters meet and interact during each of these sections, and a lengthy narrative about their school years provides some cohesion, it really feels more like several short stories linked by theme but not really by story. The book is clumsily divided into huge clumps, some 100 pages long, each focusing on one character, with sparse interludes between. By the second half I was realising that this isn't, strictly speaking, a novel (in the traditional sense). ![]() Unfortunately I was ultimately disappointed. I couldn't wait to pick this book up again and continue reading. Her characters are as fully fleshed out as can be possible and her narrative flow is excellent. ![]()
