Awe-inspiring!
Tip: make sure to read the Foreword first, and click on the blue notes as you go along (or at the end of a sentence or so) or it won’t make a blind bit of sense!
Once I got my head around the complex conceit of the book, I was absolutely hooked. Even now I’m not ‘sure’ about the protagonist: you’re left guessing throughout. It’s gorgeously written and constructed; I’m so glad a friend recommended it. Enjoy!
