This is probably the best book I have ever read. I’m on my third read. My mother is on her third read. I’ve started translating the book for fun just to feel closer to the characters. In a weird sense, I never want to leave - just like many of them. I won’t go into any sort of detail of what it’s about, and I understand why this may not be the book for everyone (especially if you like strong plot lines or any form of clarity). But man, for me, there just isn’t anything at all like it. Give this book a chance, I hope you fall in love!
