Zmrzlina, July 17, 2007

This story of a young woman searching for self, as well as the self of others, is intriguing, though the narrator is more than a bit too self-conscious. Her constant longing for the twin that died just got old, and really didn't serve the story.

The story within the story, of a reclusive writer who finally decides to "tell the truth," is well written, though, with lots of nice little twists and plenty of gorgeous scene setting. Truly a book meant for those who love to read and love to read about those who love to read.

My opinion of this book dropped dramatically because of one of the most pathetic endings I've ever encountered in an otherwise great read. It is suited to a television program ending where all the characters' lives are brought up to date and every loose end neatly tied. I despise that sort of contrived ending.
