This book was so confusing, going back and forth between characters at different times. I found it really hard to follow and had to look on Wikipedia to follow the characters. Not a fan of this book. It seems like a fairy tale, but it is an ADULT one!
Also, the narrator would mispronounce the simplest of words. "Grimaced" and "panting" were two words he had no idea how to pronounce!
By the way, for those who read this and think that listening to audiobooks is not "really" reading. My husband sent this interview to me yesterday. I have had more than one person tell me I wasn't really a reader because I walk and listen to books. So here is the proof that you are incorrect:
Here is why James Mustich thinks it should be one of the 1000 Books You Read Before You Die:
In its purest form, storytelling is a means of enchanting experience. Under a story’s spell, the ineffable emanations of life—the secrets we carry within us but that are never quite revealed to the world in the comings and goings of everyday reality—are summoned into an almost palpable existence. Rare is the novel that taps this clear spring of imagination, but John Crowley’s 1981 fantasy, Little, Big, is one that does. A willing suspension of disbelief and the author’s winsome gifts for words and wonder will soon have you spellbound (Carol's note: NOPE. Soon had me confused). Playful and capacious, Little, Big is a fey and fateful fable of what it means for an individual to find a place in the larger world.
