Not easy to get in but once I was in, I was enchanted by the prose. Lovely writing, very touching and it felt very real. I have no clue if parts were autobiographical but it sure felt like it might. 
Very philosophical and reflective, not much really "happens" but that did not bother me in the slightest. Just mentioning it for people who might not like that type of book ;) I definitely want to revisit this book in a few years.
