this book's only saving grace is its prose lmao. it's just. so problematic i don't even know where to begin??

i appreciate that this is supposed to be a love story. but we also get rampant racism, p*dophilia (and incest???) and just overall horrible pacing. the last like 10% went by quickly, but literally everywhere else, it was such a drag to read.

would not recommend lmfao i regret spending so much time on this.

This book essentially 350 pages of "redemption arc" of a dude who harbors a love for a woman (who marries/is married to someone else) for 50 plus years and chronicles all the sexual escapades (including grooming a minor), so that they can ride off on a riverboat into the sunset together in old age after she's a widow.
