Beautiful review of a book I likely would not have read but will now. Your last line says it all: ...the kernel of real and potent feeling..." Without that, novels lose me, even those that are more conventional in form. And I love the wardrobe/fabric metaphor. As usual, a rich, thought-provoking piece with kernels of real feeling.
