An overnight session. Read in 2 sittings. Love the style - third person narrative with first person reflections at the end of each chapter. Charged with emotions. Twenty-plus years in the making and it shows in the polish. I didn't get into Sue's earlier dystopian trilogy. Looking forward to the next one.
