I almost couldn’t continue but I’m so glad I did. The afterword is well worth listening to.

I listened to the book. Perhaps I really should have read it; the prose is so poetic and dense, I think it would be easier to read to oneself than to listen to a narrator.

The reader did a pretty good job, though a little too fast paced at times. Nevertheless, he read well.

Beautiful story, beautifully read.

Listening to this book I could really picture the well described scenes that could be either beautiful or painfully ugly.
It completely involved me and was at times heart breaking.
