A very interesting metaphorical story told in a train of thought-esque style. The family were all very interesting to learn about, and they were an effective way of talking about revolution without actually talking about revolutions. The author does use a lot of repetition in their writing, which doesn't particularly bother me but I can see why it could get annoying sometimes. This was a short book that I enjoyed a lot and that has a very interesting style.
