Soooo slow. Really just a narrative about the main character and not a story to enjoy. Real life is boring which is why I read. To escape it. I don’t want to read about another boring life in the form of literature.

I recommend this book. Very emotionally satisfying without being maudlin or melodramatic. I loved it.
