The story goes quite slowly but you get so invested and in love with it that by the time it’s finished, you feel a piece of you missing, which is what a good book is about. A very interesting feminist approach is within the story but so discreet that it simply makes you think instead of telling you the thoughts. Overall, a philosophical book, I would say.
