Such a great surprise. In my humble opinion, (and I'm not a humble reader; I say that because I really think this is an amazing writer) there are flaws that could have been fixed - the endless digression at some point, the ending that is very anticlimatic, Mobius that is frankly just stupid.
But Alice and David are such a rich couple. There are so many feelings. Gritty, horrible ones. But they are there, simmering, and you can't help but feeling for them. It reminded of writers I love, like Paul Auster and Jonathan Coe. And still, it has its own identity.
One of those books I love - I will never be able to explain the synopsis, people will ask me the question I dread the most “What is this about?” and I'll just shrug and tell them my favorite sentence “Just read it”.
