It was unreal and traumatizing for the main character to experience Death in many forms: absence of life, deletion of connections, inability to immerse, and the fleeting of flashes of memory.

So unreal for the main character to live such a bohemian life, and yet it was only years later that she has learned to settle down: not in the Continental Midwest, or in the Canadian North, but rather, in another foreign land.

She has finally disappeared.

(I have this need to further elaborate, but I need to collect my thoughts. As for a debut, this was a promising work. Lack of one star perhaps is for the magic of her writing. The style was there, but it was not absorbing enough)
