Weird Story
But I liked it, in some warped way. The book blurb says the story is Amanda and the chauffeur, and probably the second half is, but this segment deals with his interactions with Daria, and what became of her is the reason he became a wacko. Amanda comes in as a tertiary character towards the end, but she becomes the impetus for the rest of the story.
The other reviewers hinted at a Christian rape scene. Although Christian and rape are themes that are used throughout the story, in various real and allegorical ways, the whole story is not focused thus. There is one scene at the end that provides a reason for what I predict will be a mental break for Amanda in the next book, of which I will be reading.
It's just a weird conglomeration of many elements that keep the reader guessing how all the parts will finally come together. It is a tragedy, so far, so many tragic events; and yet it didn't depress me. It still left me with a sense of hope - to peek around the corner. If you like to read an author who experiments with how the elements of a story are assembled, then this is one for you.
