It is also an extremely well written novel, a philosophical journey through gender and an astute look at the pitfalls of relationships. It definitely keeps your interest.. "Values" according to Jo. I really liked this book. It is very well written and it kept me thinking. What more could l want? It kept me thinking a lot about all the various layers of gender, sexuality and identity.
