(I am thinking of that scene where Ophelia is drunk and Dane describes, at length, the colour and texture of her barf SEVERAL TIMES. ![]() Conversely, some scenes drag on too long for this same reason. I also agree with her that a lot happens in this novel and that although there is plenty of introspection, Dane's emotional reactions needed to be more fleshed out in some cases. Another reviewer astutely pointed out that this story has parallels to Shakespeare's play, Hamlet - and not just because of the names of the characters.

My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.ĭane is grieving the loss of his best friend and mentor, his beloved father. ![]()
