This was well done. Fletcher is the sort of guy we can all picture clearly; his imperfections might make you squirm but they make him very much human, if not always likeable. Mateo is beautiful, frustrating and wrapped in mystery until he is not, when the reality of who he is becomes almost painful. There is a wonderful starkness to certain parts of the novel; the emotion is always balanced, never overwhelming, yet poignant none the less. The ending might not be to everyone's taste. I thought it was exquisite. I would recommend it without hesitation.
