did not finish, this book is not only poorly written, dense, and from the point of view of a personality-less character, but also the way in which it was written is so problematic and steals intimate details of mental illness from a family member without her consent (read the one star review written by SWank567 for more info)

A truly exquisite read. I will be thinking about it for a long, long time.

she overdoes it a little.  it s about madness, so I'm fine if lots of it is difficult and undecidable, but this has giant sections where it reads like somebody relating snippets of a dull dream.  Also the syntax was often frustrating.  So I had to quit even though the themes and motifs or whatever she set up where pleasing.
