This book is very short, maybe 80 pages or so, but it is not an easy read. You need to take your time to really absorb it. It was disjointed at times, but it is a very interesting and enjoyable read, although there are a few pretty graphic part. It follows two story lines, and brings up interesting themes regarding music, control, the relationships between men and women, and on a broader scale, between different countries. It is very poetic and very well written.

I don’t think my two brain cells are sophisticated enough for this book. Still, there was no shortage of poetic lines which made up for my disinterest in the narrative itself.

A strange and disturbing book. I enjoyed the parts that were realistic and the fact that the characters were professional musicians.
