I loved the writing style of this author. He strings words and phrases together beautifully and is very descriptive and creative. Although the info about the game of cricket was a bit boring, the characters, the cultural aspects, and the NYC setting made for a good story. This is probably a novel for people who like literature and literary analysis, as opposed to just a great story.

One of the best novels I've ever read! It's challenging to read but most great literature is. Atwood has a beautiful voice that deeply touched me.
