No rating for this one: I accepted almost immediately that this wasn't the book for me, and I won't hold that against it. Gorgeously written in a luxuriously overripe prose style, it felt like trying to grab hold of cascading liquid—a laughably futile pursuit. Occasionally I was reminded of the pleasures of reading Firbank, only one can cut themself on Firbank's unexpectedly sharp edges where this feels static and plush, like the shallow dreamstate of a nap after a long afternoon of daydrinking.

A beautiful, flowing letter to a lost lover. However, it sometimes flowed up and down the timestream so much that I didn’t know when I was in the story. The imagery was sweet but the storyline, if it can be called that, could have used more focus.
