A hard book to complete for me. Maybe because I found it difficult to ever chaper change from character and setting, yet staying in the same sort of base. I did feel the emotions of the different people and that was well done. I found the ending unsatisfactory, but I guess that go's hand in hand with unsatisfied characters and there ways, emotions, and life's; and so it has something poetical.
