This book was not at all what I expected (what even was I expecting?) and the plot is sort of all over the map, and the characters make no sense, but, my gosh, there are some really beautiful bits of writing in it:

Then out of the hush rose little murmurs of yearning, little sounds as of longing for things that no songs can say, sounds like the voices of tears if each little salt drop could live, and be given a voice to tell of the ways of grief.

GORGEOUS.
