Yeah Erin. I was really struggling through the first half but I got into it in the second half. It does cover quite a few decades of the 20th century. Thanks

Yes I found listening and watching how the theremin is played on youtube video — gave me a better understanding for the novel. Thanks for stopping by

I do the same myself with some books – not into the first half but my opinion bumps up the second half. Strange when that happens. Sounds like this book covered a lot of range.

Hi Anne, the Giller Prize is Canada’s top annual literary prize. The winner gets $100,000. This author lives in Montreal and this was his debut novel. The theremin is very strange — you have to move your hands around to make sound between these antennas. Crazy eh?

Thanks Tanya. Yeah I think I saw your review at your site. I agree with you that the second half of the book was better. That part captured me more than the first half. It’s an interesting book, no doubt!
