This is a very good book, with excellent storytelling. I was a wee bit sceptical of the style at the first two chapters or so, but when I accepted the multiple-points-of-view and the "everything is connected" nature of its flow, it all clicked for me.

I enjoyed especially the "graphic" storytelling of a twelve-year-old, about her family. I am not sure I was convinced with the ending (I won't give it away here), but all-in-all it is an excellent read. Proof is in the pudding: I whipped though this just on Saturday and Sunday; it was hard to put down. I can't say I do that particularly often with books.

Well done, Ms Egan!
