It took me a long time to get through this because it has an intentionally meandering narration and very long chapters, which is the fastest way to put me in a slump even if I don’t dislike the story. I found some parts very boring but liked it overall. Certain scenes I could picture so vividly
like the scene where his dad died and he had to keep doing his job. The way that was described just stuck with me.
. I think I liked how it ended, though the conversation with Mrs Kenton at the end was a bit underwhelming, I expected something more since the whole book felt like it was slowly building up to that.
