A thoroughly tragicomic novel that reads like if Bravo broke into the literary scene. We follow Sisi and Ludwig on their melancholic and fanciful journeys while they live their lives under a 19th century magnifying glass. Aptly named, I thought it was interesting how the narrative skated between both the literal and metaphorical performances taking place within the motley crew of the European aristocracy present.
