“An owl hooted from the trees beyond the creek. Ada counted off the rhythm of the five-beat phrase as if scanning a line of poetry: a long, two shorts, two longs.”

There are so definite parallels to the Odyssey.

Melancholy and poetic writing. Still enjoying it.

I am surprised this book is not talked about more. The writing is beautiful. I got this as a recommendation from Alana Estelle.
