A Far Country

Here's my review from Amazon.ca:
Since I loved the Piano Tuner, I couldn't wait to read Daniel Mason's new book A Far Country. It's a meditative story of class, migration, isolation, and poverty. Mason again writes in beautiful lyrical prose. This is a more simple story than Piano Tuner, but important in it's message. At times I found the story drag and a bit flat. We know it takes place in an undisclosed South American country, but we don't know for sure when it was. It was either in the present or near future, from what I could interpret; however I would have liked Mason to let us know. His ideas were great, just not as fully developed, as I would have liked.
That said, I found this novel worthwhile and look forward to seeing where Daniel Mason will take us next. If Amazon had given the option, I would rate this 3.5 stars, rather than 3.
