I bought this book in a thrift shop years ago, inspired by the wonderful blurbs on its cover: "marvelous," "remarkable," "artistic tour-de-force," etc., etc. However, for one reason or another, I never got around to reading it and it has lingered on my shelf for years. When I saw that another bookcrossers was looking for the book, I decided to free this copy. Happy travels, little book. Hope you finally get read!

A wish granted; it arrived in the mail today. Whoopee! Thank you, annulla!

I finished this a while ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
MyopicMeringue had it on her wishlist, and it will be off to her in Devon shortly.

Embarrassed to realise I haven't journalled (or read) this yet. My dad was visiting and took it out of one of my bookcases, saying it looked interesting, and he started reading it out loud and trying to figure out the dialect it's written in. So then I was intrigued and started reading it too. And discovered it was released by annulla and sent to me by avanta - thank you, both of you. How odd, I don't remember having it on my wishlist - but I remember asking for recommendations for quirky books and putting all the recommendations on my wishlist, and I imagine this was one of those. It certainly looks like the kind of thing I enjoy - I'm looking forward to reading it. :-)
