This is two novels. "The works of Love" is really fantastic. One of my favorite reads this last year.
"The Huge Season" however has had me struggling through it. I was very into it until about a third of the way through it. It was at that point that the shifting point of view, from 1st to 3rd person, stopped working for me. Last night I was able to find a rhythm, and we will see how this ends up. Not my favorite but I highly recommend "The Works"
