I really liked the writing, though at times the spareness of the text made it feel like it was trying to be to extra "literary". The time moved in the book in waves, at times feeling like it was focused on the smallest moments, and then sweeping over two years of history. But it all came together in the end, and those small details ended up being important. I really liked how the different voices of the residents were so clear from one another - the women at least. I found it a bit tough to differentiate between the various male characters (except for Dirk).
