One of the things I especially liked was that the lesbian relationship was incredibly obvious, but none of the characters seemed to have much a problem with it, despite the cultural attitudes of the time this book was published.
I only wish it were longer and gave more detail on the time they spent together, though I do understand this is intended to be read as a letter to the reader.
The only bit I don't like is the implications around the "vision" that starts the book.
