Well, all I can say is that I gave it a chance - I got 1/2 way through the book and just couldnt find anything redeemable in it. Its a dark, depressing tale of 3 sisters, one sister is apparently molested at 11 and keeps it a secret except for the youngest sister who knows "something" happened. The sisters invent their own universe and language and then their world collapses. The story drags on about how the mentally ill sister impacts the normal sisters lives but it moves so slowly that you just dont want to keep reading it. I am a Hoffman fan but this one was just awful in my opinion - perhaps if I read the entire book it would have redeemed itself but with all the great stories out there I couldnt waste any more time.
