There was a constant overlapping and interweaving of stories from across the generations, which fit perfectly with the descriptions of time happening all at once in Lima. Though this made it challenging to read at times, it created a stunningly atmospheric tone. A beautiful read for fans of Ishiguro or The Night Circus - lyrical, "vibe" based magical realism.
