This was such an eye opening novel for me. I am so glad I read it especially now during the war in Ukraine.

Very slow paced and contemplative. Intriguing sometimes, but overall a little too stretched out. The ending is simply abrupt and in my opinion disappointing.

Slow pace. Main character was frustrating in his lack of emotional intelligence.  Good look at daily life in a war zone in Ukraine/Russia
