[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read that Jane Smiley book. And I loved Bel Canto - I felt the end was in keeping with the trajectory of the book. But Birnam Wood - it just really felt like two different books between the first half and the second. I'm still not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure if the end was necessary - it was so gruesome. I also wasn't sure what Catton's overall message/theme was supposed to be. Did you come away with a message? I loved Catton's The Luminaries, but I really hated The Rehearsal (I didn't even finish it, which is rare for me). She always sparks an intense reaction, though, so I'll keep reading her books.
