This was interesting, but I honestly cannot figure out what I'm supposed to think of it. I didn't dislike it, I'd even go so far as to say I liked it, but I could never ever tell you why. Or really what it is about. Or if I liked any of the characters. Or what was going on at almost any point in the entirety of the novel. The prose is lovely and I couldn't quite stop reading it, but... I'm just going to end that sentence there: "but" is this dangling word in my review here where words are failing me and I can't convey almost any of my thoughts because I can't put them in any kind of order. Helen Oyeyemi is probably a genius, but it is a odd sort of genius that you just have to experience to really understand, because no one can tell you what is actually so poignant about the novel or the writing. The summary on Goodreads, which is where I originally found the novel recommended, does not properly prepare you for what you are going to read, but I'm not convinced being prepared is important. It's worth picking up if anything about what you have seen about it has intrigued you, just to experience it and see if it works for you.
