Reviewing this several months after I first read it, so I don't remember details. While this book could have easily been dull, I found its prose and descriptions of motherhood and nature riveting. There is some mystery regarding the lies our protagonist's husband is telling her, but due to the lack of a linear plot this book should be read mostly to appreciate its language. I really loved spending time with it and would recommend it to those who aren't discouraged by the slowness and subject matter.
