Dreamy and poetic. Although the people in the story suffered a lot, the story does not focus on their sufferings. Reminds me of Hundred Years of Solitude somehow. But the style is quite different.

I really enjoyed reading this book; the author has a beautiful writing style that flows and keeps the reader intrigued about what's next. The plot cleverly interweaves multiple characters to create a dynamic storyline with twists and turns. There is a commentary on memory and identity, as well as contemporary politics.
I would recommend reading in one sitting, if possible. The chapters are short and you progress through at a good pace - it helps to link all the characters storylines.

At points it seemed more about everyone else except Ludo. Very interesting though and a solid okay book.
