Gorgeous prose, like trickling water. Surprisingly upbeat, considering that it deals with the baggage of coming from an abusive home. Very frank about the indignities of life in general - sometimes a little too frank for my tastes, but I'm a squeamish person.
I really enjoyed this one. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys magical realism and can deal with stories featuring an abusive parent.

"The prose in this book is like water. I mean it seriously gives me a profound impression of water. Genius. (I was reading it in the pool. Best place, I think.)"
