A narrator that is believable and yet you never quite know what she is going to say or do. I liked that. And the character of the friend (forgot her name as I am reviewing this long after I read it) was great. The image of working at an amusement park and stealing from it is great. ( )

In Paris we eat brains every night.
Quotations
Joni Mitchell was keening Little Green on Sils's record player. Sils listened to that song all the time now, like some woeful soundtrack. The soprano slides and oos of the song always made us both sing along, when I was there. “Little green, be a gypsy dancer.” Twenty years later at a cocktail party, I would watch an entire roomful of women, one by one and in bunches, begin to sing this song when it came on over the sound system. They quit conversations, touched people's arms, turned toward the corner stereo and sang in a show of memory and surprise. All the women knew the words, every last one of them, and it shocked the men.
