Plot-driven adventure
This was very much a plot and character-driven story unlike, say, 'Heaven' by the same author. I learned many details about a particular kind of struggling, poor person. I thought there wasn't any grander theme or ambition to the construction of the story. It was just an addictive, compusively readable story about a poor young girl striving to earn money.
