felt like i was SCREAMING at everyone by the midpoint; greer was so clearly dodgy from the off. loved lois's journey and the lush detailing though. a real sense of time and place throughout. great at the beginning, sorta derailed itself in the middle, and then came back to just about stick the landing at the end. sometimes terrible things have to happen to you in order for you to change and so on.
