Amazing, amazing book. One of my favorite books of all time. It mixes all of my favorite genres into one beautifully written novel.

On it's way to South Africa
Arrived in South Africa. Thanks so much for sending, Supertalya, I REALLY look forward to reading this one.
I really enjoyed this book. Perhaps the sections dealing with the mother were too long in relation to the sections on Oscar and Lola, but overall an interesting reading experience. A friend who read it as well says she found Oscar to be a nasty, boring, repulsive character. My opinion of him is almost the exact opposite!
