3.5

I liked the stories between the main plot, from the doctor, the servant, the wife. It's interesting seeing a character with as much history as B through their eyes and memories.

Ultimately, those flashbacks made this book worth reading to me. The main plot is so slow to really get started and there are so many mysteries left unanswered at the end.
