Very poetic, reminded me of a cross between The Passion According to G.H. and The God of Small Things in how it circled around a specific event/moment in time that seems to have created a flashpoint for all the characters, while at the same time having the narrator wind back and forth in time discussing events from her life as well as cosmic ideas. I liked the format changes from chapter to chapter which captured the narrators shifting thought patterns.
