Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Sometimes the prose is very beautiful.
Con: The story is just about incomprehensible. Reading page after page of purple prose is exhausting. At the end, we cannot tell if she simply had vivid dreams, or if she was insane, or if she's actually a ghost who haunts the place.
