A strange reading experience for me: On the one hand, this book is beautifully written with some truly lovely passages. On the other hand, while I never lost interest, I also didn't really get the point. Whatever overarching sense of doom or dread that was supposed to be here was lost on me. I was interested while I read it, but don't feel that the book or its characters really had any impact on me.
