It started slow for me but that's probably because I was in a reading slump. In the end I came to love this book. Jaqueline Harpman managed to write something as simply as walking on land in such an engaging way. I really enjoyed the way it was written and the pacing a lot. It could have been a dragged out novel but instead it's this perfectly paced novella about the human condition.
