While I said it was different to his other work, there are a few of Glen Duncan's usual themes running throughout the dual narrative. He looks at death, sex, fate, lost love and relationships but never lets any overpower the story that he's telling. It is an intelligent, sad, funny, insightful story that examines what it means to belong to a minority people while never beating you over the head with it or sending you on a guilt-trip. While I think this is somewhat toned down from most of his other books there are still some graphic depictions of sex and sexuality, quite a lot of profanity and some scenes of violence. So those put off by such things should probably be forewarned before picking up anything by this author. ( )
