Wow. I don't know exactly how I feel about this book, except that it's a lot. Certainly like nothing I've read before, and full of so much that refuses to be categorized. I guess no one is likely to come into this book expecting a light read, and it is not. It's about three complicated people and their failures, triumphs, griefs, uncertainties, inconsistencies, desires, hopes. And a whole lot of gender.
