Not really a question, just a thank you for writing this novel. I love reading, but lately I haven't been able to stay interested in characters or plots.

I wrote my own novel partly in response to it and coincidentally I just wrote an essay on this which was published at fivedials.com in issue 51 if you're interested in reading it. Thanks for the review and no worries at all on the name! I'm glad you enjoyed the novel. (less)
