I really like the central metaphor of aftershocks, and will be thinking of that for awhile.

I fully expected to love this one - bought a copy! - but it wasn't for me. I struggled with jumping around in time and how disjointed the narrative could be at times. I can understand all the stylistic choices made, and don't necessarily think they were bad or wrong ones, just not for me personally. (Full disclosure I also had a cold while reading, so it may have been that I didn't have the bandwidth to properly appreciate this book.)

Many have raved so I'd still recommend giving Aftershocks a shot if it interests you.
