Thoughtful, provocative and innovative. To quote from Lidia Yuknavitch's own commentary at a reading, she is more interested in history, and storytelling, as a polyphonic compendium of voices vs. single voices of "noted individuals" in history and single-speaker accounts in prose. To that extent, she constructs a complicated world that deploys dozens of characters and spans a couple of centuries as it explores past and future lives touched by The Statue of Liberty and impacted (or in some cases destroyed) by the American project. A complicated and memorable novel.
