I feel like they're hoping we won't question is so they can get away with creating a book that doesn't hold together well.

Fictional characters who act without convincing motivation can ruin a story for me. Thus I can understand why this did not work for you.

I forgot that Ann was even English. <br /><br />Yeah, I didn't get on with this title either. The "gorgeous" writing just annoyed me since I couldn't make the leaps required to follow the story. I also typically prefer more straightforward prose, although there are exceptions to this. <br /><br />My reaction to this title reminds me a bit of my reaction to one of last year's short listed books The Sport of Kings. It was also evocatively written, but that only served (IMO) to hide a weak plot. However, many absolutely adored it.

Which is too bad if her writing is poetic. I can imagine it'd be quite frustrating.

The writing was lovely, and I was intrigued by the situation, but I couldn't deal with the characters. Reading the comments in the TOB Goodreads group made me wonder if there was something I missed, but it sounds like you felt the same after finishing it.
