This novel has some of the most dazzling, awe-inspiring writing - multiple times I stopped to take in and then re read and re read certain passages because they were so gloriously written, Morrisons words are so loaded, and she wastes nothing. The ending was beautiful, the middle was confusing in a good way (and as Morriso 's books usually are), so I think this is one that will get better with successive readings.
