There were parts of this book that deeply annoyed me (I can only tolerate "water-blue" and "deep-red" and "rusty-brown" as descriptors for so long...), but on the whole it had a One Hundred Years of Solitude quality about it that I quite liked.
I'm not sure if I'm just a sucker for the intergenerational story or if this was a genuinely excellent book... I guess either way, I'm a fan.
