The author drew me in to her characters. I felt I knew them. Incredibly knowledgeable writer, inquisitive and compassionate. For me, a daytime book. I need to take care of Jude, his friends love him but he is unable to fully believe it. I bought the book but it proved difficult to read with such small print and compacted, brick-like shape, it was physically uncomfortable. I bought kindle format for a more comfortable read and am about 1\4 way through. I am familiar with the feelings described by the author, she has clear perception. Physical description, places, flat, houses are equally powerful, sight, sound, smell, touch.
My rating has 4 stars, I haven't finished reading yet.
