If you don't like books open endings, this is not the book for you. If you like books that have themes of a story within a story or stories that seem unconnected unraveling to reveal that there is a common thread running throughout unbeknownst to even the characters, I would recommend giving this book a try. This book also had beautiful prose, and even while I was not sure where the story was headed I appreciated the reading experience all the same. The story does give enough clues for the reader to draw conclusions about what's really going on, but it did still feel slightly too open ended for my personal taste.
