Really beautiful writing, but it was sort of a long slog for a "huh." kind of ending.  This book took the scenic route.

One of the worst books I’ve ever read. I only finished it out of spite. The plot was impossible to follow and made zero sense. Would not recommend.

I've never read something with such a monotone narrative.
