Strange Story

I'm still reading Rite of Spring - I'm about a third of the way through the book so far. It's not quite like the other Andrew Greeley books I've read, but I do still think I like it. I'm not sure how it's going to work out - Brendan Ryan (narrator/main character) keeps hinting that Ciara Kelly really doesn't exist, possibly never did - she's maybe sort of a figment of his imagination or something like that. I wouldn't have been able to guess that was going to be the case, if he didn't keep mentioning it - she seems too real right now. I suppose some of that could be from the fact that in many ways she reminds me of a character from many of Fr. Greeley's later books: Nuala Anne McGrail. I have still found that some of the characters I've met in Greeley's other books do appear in this book too, but not in a very major way, at least not yet. I suspect that when Ciara (apparently) disappears (or whatever she does) the others might become a bit more prominent. I do however, look forward to seeing how this story unfolds.
