I have just finished reading the boo...Nice review. I have just finished reading the book (and immediately passed it to my daughter to whom, I think, it will speak directly). As I have just finished it -pretty much in one sitting- I am too close to it to have any considered views but your comment on ambiguity rings true. <br /><br />By the end there is not much of which we can be certain and this is expertly played on throughout the story. We never do get to the truth of Wim and Ruthie for example. The one question which, oddly enough, still sits in my mind is, oddly enough, which sister is narrating and which sister died? After all Mori herself muses on the ability of identical twins to impersonate each other; and Mori is such an ambiguous contraction...!Ian Burdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551669626201901349noreply@blogger.com
