I read this book in April 2012.
While I was reading it, I liked it, but didn't love it.
but for me, the book had resonance and my mind would return to the ideas and characters in this book as I tried to understand them and where they were going.

I read this book when we first moved to Ottawa in May 2012. I found the writing and characters so different that I struggled through the first bit. At a certain point I became captivated by this unusual book. At a turning point in the book all of the pieces fell together creating a strange and beautiful book.

I read this book in pieces over the summer of 2012. Although, I was not able to fall into the story and lose myself within the characters (as I did with Hay's novel A Student of Weather), I still found Hay's writing and ideas so beautiful that at times it took my breath away.
