Refreshing.

It doesn't have the brilliance of #HuckleberryFinn, and the author has a curious way of repeating (announcing and rehearsing?) key elements, and in one instance, even of summarising the whole novel as a character looks back and tells her story in one page. A little bit of a "take-home message" page... But on the other hand, the characters are more complex than they appear at first, and, apart from those quirks, the style is pleasantly fluid.
