This book focuses more on prose than anything else. While there is some character and plot development the primary focus is the writing itself. Treat this more as a poetry book than a novel and you'll be okay.

Beautiful, poetic, weird, heart breaking, sad, filled with love. Not a standard novel at all! Best for people who like non-standard narratives. Beware of content warnings if needed (violent deaths and sexual assault described)
