Incredibly underrated. A beautiful novel I will never tire of re-reading.

i stopped reading iit 4 a little while but then i remembered it and started right were i left off! i am really glad that i did!

Dr DeAngelis, Dancing on the Edge, P. 210 The style of this book is so unusual that it's hard for me to completely get a grasp on it. Living
