A man returns to the site of a house
his family once lived in and the memories start to flood back. He remembers things that clearly couldn’t
have happened, but he is sure they did.
It all comes back to his neighbors: three women, three generations,
three sets of powers. All of the women
are definitely otherworldly and deal with beings and realms outside of our
understanding. What our narrator knows
as the duck pond, they call an ocean, and an ocean it truly is.
The storytelling is fantastic and
pure Gaiman. However, I was a little
disappointed. Usually I fly through his
books, but it took me a long time to get through the 180 pages. It was a bit slower paced than what I expect
from him. It is a great diversion though
and a way to escape reality for a while.
