I finished this book over a couple of quiet days before Christmas and liked it very much. Not sure there is very much I can pick apart in this book - I'll have to try harder

. I actually thought it quite well constructed in its managing of non serial time and of parallel locations, plus a good story line and OK prose.

I would think that different opinions would exist as to whether it was science fiction genre or not, but that was not something I felt inclined to want to exercise my mind with.

I had a USA version, no illustrations apart from the cover.

Am currently fitting in with other things one of Sun Surfer's nominations, In the Shadow of the Banyan; early days but am liking it, so I appreciate having been pointed to it.
