There are wonderful insights into the human psyche.
Andrea Howarth-Salazar has a very individual style of writing. The narrative is written more like a film script than a novel. The prose flows nicely.
There are a couple of inconsistencies in the plot and a few typos, but apart from these, very minor distractions, I enjoyed this book.
This is an ambitious first novel, with a very complex storyline. Andrea Howarth-Salazar is definitely a writer to watch for the future. I am looking forward to reading more of her books. ]]>
