I really don't know how I feel about this book. The philosophical nature is interesting. It's an exploration of a woman's interiority as she struggles to understand herself and her place in the world. The plot is surrealist and the language can be a little dense. It's cyclical, which I feel is intentional but could make this a confusing and frustrating read. Some parts feel like happenstance, while others feel like the intentional control and craft of a strong writer. It's a contradiction.
