One of the things that struck me about this story is how economical the writer was with her prose. In the first two brief sections "Two Ladies of Berlevaag" and "Martine's Lover" (6 pages on my reader) there are at least 12 references to the notion of seeing/illusion/looking/appearance/vision/dream, which to me is the dominant theme of this story.
