Descriptive and magical. Pierrot and Rose grew up in the same orphanage in Montreal, both abandoned there as newborn babies. A love develops between the two despite many obstacles: poverty, jealousy, crime, addiction. Their lives are lived separately until the stars align and cause their paths to cross - this is where the real magic begins. Pros: Beautifully descriptive language flows through the entire novel, quite delightful to read. Cons: Many sexual situations are featured in this novel - I was not expecting that...and unfortunately I think much of the symbolism from the rest of the book went right over my head. Very well written and a nice change of pace - definitely an original piece of work. 4 stars
