Title: what a pleasant surprise!
Review: I picked up this book expecting a light flight-consuming read and was blown away by the simple but beautiful prose. the tale is too fanciful to sustain for 300 pages but that is a minor fault when compared to the author's imagination and masterful writing. I urge any curious reader or aspiring writer to read (and re-read and re-read) the second to last chapter; it features some of the best writing I've come across in years!
