A great and moody, wintry book, I fell right in. I'm fascinated by books that successfully make the narrator a character who is writing about someone else's life, and the narrator is barely involved in the actual story. It's so difficult to pull off, and so much fun to read when it's done well.

Didn't really love the ending, but I'm a scrooge about endings--I love so few.
