Hi Isabel. I don’t think it spans much time. A few months, perhaps, though the shift in the middle does make that a bit less . . . uhm . . . certain. Indeed, you touch upon a question I wondered throughout the novel, to satisfying results.

But, it’s definitely worth your time (ba-ding, tisch) to discover, Isabel!

How long does the story last (in years, I mean)?

What a way to spend time!

Great review.

Oh, I’m starting to feel the pressure! I’m tempted to say something awful about the book to make sure your expectations aren’t too high! Alas, I can’t think of anything bad to say! I look forward to everyone’s thoughts . . .

The other great thing about book blogs is that they allow you to enjoy all over again a book you have just read. Really good to read this Trevor. What a Wilcken bonanza!
