A slowpaced novel with a dense language. But it is exactly this complicated language that makes the book a poetic read. The text contains beautiful descriptions of Californian coast.
One thing I do wish I knew before picking this book up, though, is that it contains a lot of references to other works, be it classics or works of the authors time. I suggest picking it up if you are a well-versed reader.
