It doesn’t have much plot, more stream of consciousness as we follow the main character.
Joan is not a likable character but definitely is the star of her own life. She reminds me of Esther from The Bell Jar or the main character of A Year Of Rest And Relaxation.
Her complicated and layered past relationship cast a shadow on all other connections with other people.

Nothing happens for 300 pages and then there's too much action, yet somehow I am still looking for the catharsis.
