rieviolet's review against another edition
5.0
I really liked the characters' portrayal, especially when it came to the author's father and grandmother, they really stood out in all their complexity.
I also really appreciated the irony that shone thorughout the book, amidst the more serious and bleak events.
Shamefully, I have to admit that so much of the history explored in the book was unknown to me, despite being relatively close to me both in time and in space. It was an informative and really eye-opening reading experience.
I'd like to re-read it in the future so that I can spend more time on and better absorb the more reflective sections, that were very interesting but I'm afraid a bit demanding for my (still quite ignorant) brain.
