Holy crap! What a good book! It’s rather short and pretty easy to read. The way she spins you around from character to character is so graceful that only in the beginning was I thrown for a loop.

I’m not even sure a review of this would do it justice.

There is definitely an underlying plot of sorts; what I love about this book is not the plot but the way the author puts what seems to be the plot into a much wider context than usual. A truly omniscient narrator – not only do you get the thoughts of humans, but also those of moose, beavers, lichen, cats, dogs, corn, and the wide swath of time before and humanity. This book seems to be all about connection. Spooky, funny, sad, complicated.

I never buy books after having borrowed them from the library and read them. I might buy this one. I want to read it again!
