Hmph. I wanted to like this one more than I did. Muller clearly has a distinct voice, and I dug the minimalist style. Still, I wanted to feel a little more grounded in the narrative that Muller allowed us to. The stoic, distant tone makes us feel Irene's deep sense of alienation in her new home, but there's just not much else here besides that. I wanted more of Irene's world, more of her struggle, more of her romances. But by definition, minimalism doesn't tend to offer more, so perhaps this one just wasn't for me.
