Despite being short, I would say this could be a difficult read. There are no chapters and no good stopping points. The narrative bounces back and forth and connects things in a long circle. It was truly like we were listening to someone tell their life story. I read it is meant to sound like the oral story telling of that island. I have no comparison to make but I did really like the rhythm of the sections. I think this would be an excellent audiobook. Very moving and charming. I highly recommend this.
