I don't really know how to rate this, since I have the feeling that I didn't even understand half of the book. The prose was certainly interesting and beautiful. I am a bit sad that I couldn't get the audiobook. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more.

I'm not sure I entirely "got" this book. Some parts were beautiful and descriptive. Others were dry and pretentious.
