****************
2016: I needed to read the Afterword to really get this novel and its literary significance, but even without I enjoyed the novel. A bit bizarre, but there was a peaceful pace to the lead character's self-exploration, offset by her experiences with Bear. I probably need to read this novel again to really get it.
