I really liked it. Like all stream of consciousness, you have to give in to it.
There’s a parallel story of an American lioness that I didn’t get at first, but that pulls together with the narrator’s life story by the end. The narrator is a mother with midwestern roots and I’m from the same general area, so this really worked for me.
I did have a hard time figuring out the timeline and some of the mental chatter gets annoying. But I thought it was innovative and memorable and I’m glad I read it. Really different than a lot of what gets published these days.
