Review of "The Cat's Table" on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

this is why i'm thankful for my bookclubs. this novel was so dense and layered - i'm not entirely sure how i feel about it.
questions I'm pondering:
what the heck was going on with that cousin? did they really have sex? or was she just trying out her sexuality with him?
and was she involved (in advance ) in the murder?
and what about that geenroom - was that fanciful thinking or simple exaggeration?
