With its flashbacking plot, and numerous narrative styles, stories and voices, this could have been a disaster. But, although it did strain at the seams at times, the quality of the writing saved it from, well, ruin, and made it a good, meaty read. Thanks to my librarian friend Andrew for recommending it. Fabulous cover, too.

  1. Glad you liked this. I did, too. My cover was a lot more beautiful, though. :-)

  2. I like the retro-collage look - suits the story very well. I think publishers are making more effort with covers in this day of e-books.
