“I read this book several years ago, and my copy is currently in storage so I can't refer to it.... but I remember both liking and being disturbed by this book. The main characters are twin brother and sister who are separated by circumstances when they are young, and their lives proceed along different paths. It's a sad tale, but beautifully written, and really looks inside the minds of these children in a way that books for & by adults often do not.”
“I do not know why but I did not like it.”
“A brilliant book. The style of narration was dreamy and really different. Don't miss this beautiful piece of literature.”
“The book definitely does not live up to its hype and I really wonder if it deserved an award! My impression of the book was that it is too perverted!”
