This was a book club read and I probably would have abandoned it if it wasn't!
The prose is quite dense and deliberately ambiguous, it definitely requires concentration to follow.
Even after finishing, elements of the plot remain obscure and I found the experience of reading frustrati g as the characters are trapped and bitter.
Nonetheless it was interesting to read something very different to my normal style and it has got me curious about the period in history in Chile
