But this is just the backdrop to a more personal story of individuals. However this is a minor criticism, the rest of the book more than rewards the reader. The author's style is quirky and offbeat. The author's intent is to entertain. The background is detailed and affects the atmosphere.
Characterization focuses on several characters of different sexes whose lives are intertwined.
The characters are developed over time. There are memorable and important secondary characters. The book is fanciful, entertaining, emotional, playful. The ending is ambiguous. Not Important .
