The prose in some parts was beautifully lyrical but the actual plot and how it progressed was messy and confusing which meant the flowery descriptions only confused me further.

"It's as if the book itself has an aura, beyond its subject, to do with the potency of its truth, I think particularly about the relationship between the children and adults and the natural world. It gets into your skin, in the way... closer to the condition of music or visual art."
