This is a very lyrically written book, haunting in some of the passages. It does skip around a bit, however. If you are reading it for the beauty of the words, that doesn't matter too much. The fact that it does skip around a bit doesn't lessen the emotional impact of the various scenes, but it can make it more confusing at times. Luckily, she writes a fairly linear synopsis in the introduction, which helped me not get as frustrated when she'd shift from age 44 to age 28.
But I was mostly reading it for the ebb and flow of the language, the heartbreaking loneliness that just flowed of her words. On that front, she definitely succeeded.
