bcrowes11's review against another edition

The sprawling narrative is too arduous because there's no time to understand anyone or anything that deeply. I think it's just not the right time and I'll try again some other day in the future.

Well, that was suspicious… I really wanted to love this book, but man was it a slog! 

420 pages of description, very little discourse, 20 characters who were sleeping with siblings, aunties and cousins from across this world of make believe and everyone had the same name … I’m confused. 

It’s a saga, spanning 100 years, but you never know how old people are or what timeline your in. I think one guy died a dozen times and then when he finally died, he came back so often that I just felt I was meeting myself coming backwards. 

I sense something really beautiful in this book, but I think I will find the beauty in a future reread. I am not willing to give up on this book.
