This is a novel of substance and meaning.. Characters facing the realities of the mystery and pain of love.. Characters of Evil hating love out of jealous spite. Practical messianic characters who realize to be a "hero" is to love all of life and sacrifice themselves to hope.. Bewilderingly surreal fantasy. Staggeringly devastating horror..
It is a complex yet subtle morality play.
Truly Barker at his best, merging the culmination of decades of his own literary devices, imagery, and symbolism to tell the fullness of the story of the entire human experience in the same way the Bible speaks as literature.
Three thumbs up, a must read and you can skip the first two and go straight into this one
