Maureen says this novel is written in three "movements," as in musical
movements. The three movements are divided by the two main characters'
(David & Mayla's) situations, together or separate, and attitudes toward
each other, indifferent or interdependent. Hope this helps focus the
book. (I haven't finished reading it either.)
