Sorrowland is not a "neat" book. It doesn't tie up loose ends and rough edges, and that's a new experience for me as a reader. There are not clear lessons or morals or illuminating "aha" moments. However, the characters and the richness of their experiences was irresistible and I felt I was witnessing something important.
