Review Summaries
-
Readers value its force as a dark coming-of-age story and its dense, metaphor-rich texture. Some, however, are unsettled by narration that does not plainly explain how the world works.

I read everything by Grant
Richard Grant is a genius. The Saraband of Lost Time is my all time favorite novel
