Certainly literary, though I can’t see much character development. The turns at the end of the book were intriguing, but you had to make it through the preceding 200 pages of minimal plot to arrive, and then the book ended.
She had some powerful lines throughout the book, the last 10-20 pages were nicely written, but I felt that the characters were quite one dimensional the entire time, and had minimal growth. Not a terrible book, just not my cup of tea.
