I was immediately drawn into this novel by Whittall's creative narration written as a stream of conciousness by a young gay girl in Montreal in the 90's. Her passive attitude provides an extremely interesting narrator as she is more curious than adventurous and a keen observer of those who take passion to the extreme: passion of language, passion of love or even passion of just the arts in general. Though the novel is short, it grasped my attention with every sentence and read as smooth as if you were watching a film with a voice-over. Loved it!
