Title: Plot versus Substance.. Ane the winner is...
Review: While reading this colorful, lyrical story, it is easy to be transported by the present-tense, sing-song prose, enigmatic imagery and sensual descriptions. After closing the book and gaining some distance, one begins to see how simple and predictable is the story line. But while steeped in the fragrant brew of the narrative as it progresses... Ahhh! it is so easy to be captivated. Very original style and point of view. Deliciously original premise! Somewhat flat plot and even flatter resolution. In my opinion, the style in this case outweighs the substance. And what a style!
