Query: Curiously cold and inert

This synopsis of this novel makes it sound as if it would be moving and contemplative. It's unfortunate that it was staid and boring. The characters' confusion frustrated me because I couldn't understand it and they didn't move forward. They just wallowed in this muddled despair and stayed in it. Plus, the failed attempts at closure for the characters was completely lost on me.Ultimately I just found this book boring and completely without suspense.
