![]() ![]() ![]() I accept that it’s a fantasy tale and so not intended to be believable in the usual sense of course, but additional, unrooted, layers like this just take the work into the ridiculous. Lip service to its strangeness happens later on, but the juxtaposition of it and her present-day life is never really explored in any meaningful way. In addition, the narrator has had no advance warning or previous experience/expectation of time travel and yet she only really expresses acceptance of it. There’s an incomprehensible and unexplained expectation by the narrator that she will find her parents in the past, despite that it’s unclear for a good part of the early chapters whether they have died or are simply absent. ![]() This is a strange book that has had some energy invested into the writing, but yet still falls somewhat short. ![]()
