Her first novel has a tone both dreary (which I expected) and maudlin (less appreciated). No match for Reflections so far but it's early days yet...

I envy those who have a stronger reaction to this work. Select passages are indeed powerful but the irony remains too heavy (the mute all the lonely people rely on is lonely too!) and that scene with the gun was groanworthy in its telegraphed bathos. That said, I would rather she be in the American Pantheon for this book than not at all.
