I generally have a hard time with novels written by poets because story is often sacrificed for style. While that did occasionally happen here, I didn’t mind too much because the writing was so lovely.

Prosa preciosa y tristísimo. Me interesó la estructura de la historia (distintas generaciones) y los paralelismos con el lenguaje.
