this book is quiet, but by no means gentle-- despite reading the reviews of it I was not prepared for the physical and social violence that was in store. I suppose the constantly neutral tone and broad scope created distance for the reader, as with a fairytale, but the residents of this village seemed very spiteful and ill-intentioned toward one another and reading it felt like being trapped in a beige nightmare.
