It wasn't necessarily a bad book, it was just . . utterly boring. I felt like I was hallucating for the most of it and the words didn't quite register in my head.

However, I did like the last story, 'Magdalena Looking '. If I were to review the book solely on that particular story it would've been up to four stars.

Poignant writing touching on a range of issues economically (that is, within a relatively short number of pages). This is a short story collection tied together thematically and disguised as a novel—something I increasingly love. Involuntary childlessness is addressed here more than once. A short book, but laden with sensitive treatment of complex subjects.
