Compelling in parts, where indeed it did become a page turner (I finished it in a week), but the novel seemed to me to lose direction at various places. While I could see how the themes and contrasting depictions of them over time were intended to reflect each other and intertwine, I feel they failed to cohere convincingly. The points could also have been conveyed without the need for gratuitous violence at some points. A fine writer but overall this book was not wholly successful for me. Therefore 4*.
