the poetry was beatiful, i loved the characters, the symbolism was amazing, and the message is so very important and was well incorporated into the book. i loved every aspect of this and it even made me want to read shakespeare, which is saying something.

only gripe? perhaps that it was too short. this was a riveting read from start to finish. the writing though rather plain compared to my nabokovish standards nevertheless was beautifully delicate and the interweaving of storylines was intricately delightful. loved the exploration of femininity and love, but most of all what it means to be a woman in the patriarchy, breathing life into these heroines. once again proving that lit teacher recced readings are miles better than the assigned readings, but perhaps the pasture simply is greener on the other side lol.
