If you're looking for a book that spells everything out for you from the start and holds your hand, move along.This one requires your attention and patience. If you skim or speed along, you will certainly miss something.  It will make you guess and reveals only a little at a time. You won't be given much background or solid information until you're 15 chapters in. That is when things start to pull together to create an image.  Before this point, all you'll have are your best guesses and imagination. Nothing is left unexplained by the end, so if you finish and still have questions it means you did not read carefully enough.There are four main characters: Odile, Nicholas, Sophie and Joseph.  The story is told in first person from the perspective of all four, with each chapter stating the name of the narrator for that section. Paying attention to the chapter headings will help you keep the story straight.
