Welcome to Litsy!

This book started off really slow but I ended up enjoying it!

This is a nimble and enjoyable first novel published in 2003. It asks a familiar question, "Can you like an unlikeable character?" The plot twist is fairly easy to anticipate, but handled adroitly enough to provide a complex denoument. The conceit is in the author's quotations from John Donne's poetry and their relation to the story.
