My hold at the library came through on this yesterday and I'm about a third of the way through. I haven't read the comments in this thread yet in case there are spoilers, but I am getting a Canadian vibe from the book.
I've noticed before with Canadian writers that there is a feeling of detachment from the story they are telling, a witness to history or observer point of view. As a young, peaceful nation we haven't participated in as many dramatic events as other countries, so it's easier to be detached from world events. Or maybe my impression says more about me and the authors I've chosen to read than about Canadian writers, but I thought I'd comment anyway.
