"One had followed the rules, and one had not. But the problem with rules, he reflected, was that they implied a right and a wrong way to do things.

A really beautifully written piece of fiction. I specify that it's fiction because it is so rich in depth and detail, that Ng's characters might as well be real people. Its a difficult book to describe. The plot is subtle and unassuming and I just fell completely in love with every aspect of the story. It doesn't rely on twists or shock reveals to drive it along, but is perfectly paced and not a single word is wasted.
