First of all, you need to know this is strongly influenced by Dante's Inferno. If you know that going into it, you won't be surprised by the plot or setting. Having just recently listened to a podcast do a review of The Divine Comedy over several episodes, I really enjoyed the setting and plot of this book.
It does not have a lot action, but it does have a lot of character and feeling. We have time to sit and feel with these characters. Sometimes we are sitting alone with a character and sometimes we are sitting amongst a group of characters. So it isn't really the story of one person. It is a little bit about everyone contributing to the whole even when they aren't trying to be a part of the whole.
This will make you think about guilt, forgiveness, truth, grace, past and present, the connections between people, and the space to process all of this. This is a great study of people.
