inulro5. Living Next-Door to the God of Love by Justina Robson
Wow, this was *hard*. It did not help that I painted myself into a corner whereby the only way I could finish it was to read it at lunch and on the bus in order to finish it before book club.
I'm still not sure I understood it. I adored bits of it and found other parts not very interesting on top of being very difficult.
My final take-away thought is that it's bog-standard traditional-to-urban fantasy, but with n-dimensional physics, thus making it (according to the blurb on the cover) hard sci-fi.
Loads of interesting points to think about.
I'm keeping it, because I'd like to try it again some time and maybe I'll pick up on more of what's going on. Not that I'm likely to ever have the requisite time + brain power combination going, but it could happen.
Will definitely be checking out her other stuff.
