The premise of this book is one woman, Yellow Cardigan Woman, talking about another woman, Purple Skirt Woman, who she sees about town.
The story unfolds from there, or maybe I should liken it to peeling back layers of an onion. This story did not go the direction I expected given the narration at the beginning, and I feel like it was a nice surprise in a way. I really don't want to say more to avoid spoiling it, but essentially if you enjoy character studies and unreliable narrators this is a great book to pick up.
Some of narration is a bit confusing, largely due to the unreliableness of our narrator and her rambling way of describing things to us. The writing is not particularly flowery and there isn't much for slang or idioms.
Insofar as vocabulary is concerned though this book will present no real difficulty to anyone familiar with your average novel about daily life. Specialized vocab is near nonexistent.
