beautifully written novel with some really wonderful philosophical observations on life, death, happiness, etc. I also enjoyed the various storylines and narrators that coexist. however, in my opinion the plot dragged at times & I never felt compelled to keep reading after finishing a chapter. the ending also didn’t have the strongest effect on me, especially as we got into the more fantastical elements.
