Weird and wonderful
This book will not be for everyone. It is fascinating and reads like you have been using a magic mushroom. Lots of detail and imagining. It boiled down to a very simple premise but took a most complicated path to that revelation. Susanna Clarke - I would love to get to know her...but not even sure that would be possible. She seems to inhabit another dimension.

Didn't like
This was not my cup of tea. The book felt too long.
