I loved the structure; like you said, it's elaborate without being confusing, and she does such a good job keeping the mystery alive until the very end. And yes to hanging with Anne Lamott, she seems like such a fun person. Teresa: I have no idea how anyone could not like The Blind Assassin, it was sooo good.
