Quite possibly, this book is why I'm married to the person I married.
The novel presents a daunting challenge to readers, because it consists of sonnets - 14 lines per, babe. I recall that Seth doesn't adhere closely to iambic pentameter, which is fine - there's a good tradition of poets being flexible with verse. (See Shakespeare, William.)
This is a book of love and loss, friendship and loss, and San Francisco.
