This is a strange collection with an ethereal, introspective, abstract atmosphere, like recounted dreams or hazy memories. It doesn't spend any time building suspense or implicating the reader in the action, and there are no flourishes in the language.tIt was easy to pick up and journey along with the characters. A few stick in my mind and I'd like to return to them, maybe.
