I liked the structure of this novel, which follows a man whose mother had disappeared when he was a young boy. He finds her, and joins her on the farm where she's working, which they eventually escape from. The way it moved back and forth in time worked really well. There was also a sly narrative trick that came into play - you think you know who the narrator is, but slowly it dawns on you that it's someone else. There are also some interesting changes in language for some of the characters. Overall I enjoyed this, possibly the writing a bit more than the story.
