Her Fearful Symmetry (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

Helpful Score: 1


A quirky tale of love, loss, and coming into one's own. I loved all the subtle (and not so subtle) symmetry between various characters (Eddie & Elspeth, Valentina & Julia, Elspeth & Valentina, Elspeth & Julia, the older twins & younger, I could go on & on). I was moderately disappointed with the ending. I won't spoil it, suffice to say, I felt certain elements of the story to be too "neatly" tied up, and some characters to do & say things so outside what they really would that I was a bit frustrated. I would have been happier had it simply ended before the last 1.5-2 chapters.
