Just finished this. If you are in the mood for an 18th century tale of voluptuous perfidy, this is amazing. It's got all the gothic props in spades: sexual transgressions, labyrinthine catacombs, nuns, ghosts, the wandering jew... even satan makes an appearnace.
I really loved this, but I'm okay with things that are of questionable substance but have boundless amounts of style. I am even of the opinion that sometimes enough style and beautiful language can generate substance like spontaneous combustion, without the author even fully meaning to. it's real cool and jonathan safran foer liked it: "[she] has an amazingly original way of thinking. ...is often hysterically funny, profoundly strange, and unbearably beautiful. Often all at once."
