I finished reading the book last night. I thought it was beautifully and delicately done, though very sad to read. From the very beginning, we know Nora has very low self-esteem. One instance, when there is talk of embroidered wall hangings she had made as a young woman:

Quote:
I thought they were marvellous, so it follows that they will be sad bungles. (page 22)
I shall have more to say when others have read the book as I don't want to spoil it for those yet to get into it.
