I enjoyed this book, the story and the characters, more than I initially thought I would. The descriptions of the running of the bulls made me long for Spain, and yearn to travel abroad and seek out new horizons. The characters relationships and interactions had depth and intrigued me from the start. At the end of the day, it’s a tale as old as time. “And isn’t it pretty to think so?”

I kept reminding myself about the time period, the world in which this was written. It didn't help. There are certain words I was not raised with, nor use. Words that grate on my soul and this books overuse of 2 of them hurt. Not to mention the alcohol consumption, the poor bulls ear, & the lack of character depth to name a few. The conversations/paragraphs filled with repetitive words left me feeling bored and unamused. ex. fiesta & daunted.
This will be an interesting book club chat!
