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.
