Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-10 00:00:00 Hugo Zapata I liked this book a lot. It was interesting and readable and the author played with language in intriguing and poetic ways. It was almost like synesthesia, a neurological condition where the senses get their signals crossed, and people can taste the words they hear, or smell sounds. She writes like that, and I found it perpetually fresh and surprising. The book's about the thin edge of the madness wedge, and twins, dysfunctional families, love, ghosts, mummies and heroes. It's about growing up as best you can under the circumstances.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-01 00:00:00 Sawwa Sawwas Now THIS is the type of queer literature I've been looking for! Beautiful writing that tells a melancholy and strange story. (What I imagine Edward Carey would write if he were a lesbian, perhaps? I haven't read him in a while.) That being said, I wish I'd loved it more. I don't know what it lacked to truly get under my skin (in a good way), but overall it was a read I relished and was sad to finish.
