The Heaven of Mercury by Brad Watson

Sometimes I read a novel and it is so good I just want to quit writing. I will never be able to write as well as Brad Watson. Some of the chapters could stand alone as short stories, they are that polished. I am even at a lose to describe why the writing is so good. I think that Watson is incredibly observant, for one thing, and is able to communicate that to the reader.

The "arch" of the plot confused me, I have to admit that. I would not have had the courage to skip around in time so much, or to bring a character back after death.
