It was beautifully written but after finishing it, I wasn’t sure what had happened, what was real and what imagined. I think it is the sort of book that needs more than one reading to grasp. Then I read a couple of reviews (I usually read them after rather than before) that mentioned things that hadn’t occurred to me. I wonder if, perhaps, it is the sort of book where the reader has to decide what happened.

When I read it last month, I started rereading it a couple of days later. I still couldn’t decide what had really happened, but I had a better idea of what might have happened.

I should re-read it but I will leave it a while. I still think of it although I finished it almost a month ago. The whole book has a dreamlike quality.
