- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
3.0
Summary: A lesbian poet (these things are relevant) documents her travel as she takes her mother's ashes back to Siberia to be buried. Whilst on the journey, she also reflects on moments throughout her life; of memories of her and her mother, and also of pivotal moments where she had creative, artistic, or sexual awakenings. It is an autobiographical novel.
Review:
This one is weird.
I dont even know why it seemed so odd.
It's very literary and creatively reflective.
If you like the works of Deborah Levy - you will like this.
And whilst there was nothing really captivating happening - I felt a pulling to see it through, and to see what other memories are brought up for our protagonist. What odd observations she has made over the years.
