“In her mind, the one became associated with the other, the parrot becoming sanctified by connection with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit in turn acquiring added life and meaning. Surely it could not have been a dove that God had chosen to speak through, since doves cannot talk. It must have been one of Loulou’s ancestors. ”
----------------------------------
I guess this one just wasn’t for my taste. I found it too heavy on the religious side, and the characters uninteresting. The plot itself felt dull (despite tragic moments and parrot-worshiping of sorts, so you can imagine the dullness was a special type of overwhelming). Unfortunately, I can’t say I enjoyed this much.
