I have no idea what is going, but I tremendously enjoyed it anyway. So, if that doesn't say "WIN" on your behalf, I don't know what does. Obviously, I must go buy this upon my return to the U.S. (honestly, the first thing I do (after, you know, sleeping and, perhaps, eating) will be hitting a book store, why yes, I am that ridiculous), assuming I don't forget, so... if you don't see me mentioning something about it by August, if you happen to remember, do drop me a note.

But yes. Wonderful imagery, tone, etc etc, FABULOUS.
