Kokoschka's Doll by Afonso Cruz
Did not finish book.
mysterious
fast-paced
2.5
Kokoschka’Doll by Afonso Cruz translated from the Portuguese by Rahul Bery. It’s the story of Bonifaz Vogel and a young Issac Dresner, who takes refuge in Vogel’s bird shop. Vogel starts to hear voices from the cellar assuming that it’s voice of God and soon he relies on the voice. They both survive the bombing of their city and they get entangled in the life-sized Doll.
It started well for me and I was quite intrigued to the story right from the beginning and as I invested more into the story, I felt I was lost and the story fallen flat as you are introduced to different characters all of sudden. Though it was a quick read I see there are some loop holes in conveying the story.
