I love books that have lots of STORY, so I worried this would be a slog, but I am in the hands of a master here. The prose is exceptional. The prose IS the story. I am surprised how I can read this on the subway and get completely sucked into this world.

Also, it's inspiring me to step up my prose game. Thank you, Shirley Hazzard!
