These characters are highly unlikeable, I didn't enjoy the story, and I have no clue why it was recommended to me. No.

4.0

Quirky, interesting characters with surprising attitudes. The portrait of the famous poet is unforgettable (and kind of unsettling). Some beautiful description, some embarrassing saturnalia, a very keen sense of Rhode Island itself.
