I think this is a book where the reader has to look beneath the surface narrative to the mirrored narrative submerged bellow the water line. It is also about appetites of various types, and how trauma can affect both individual.
I very much enjoyed the language of this novel and can highly recommend the audiobook the narrator does a wonderful job.

I was so excited to read this book and was so disappointed. It is extremely slow. The audiobook is only 5 hours and I listened on 1.25 speed but it still took me over a month to finish. I kept reading thinking the pace might pick up and because I was interested in the characters, but the prose was flowery without real substance.
