Edit: after reading some analysis on the book afterwards, I understand a bit of the intrigue about the book, its unusual narrative and the "magical realism" theme. I realized at one point, i should focus on getting through the book rather than understanding it and trying to remember everyone's place in the timeline. It's a book to simply read and then be mystified by.

that being said, i would recommend reading this with the family tree accessible to help remember the character's names and relationships. the repeating names can be confusing to track, but they are important to the themes of certain traits and flaws repeating in the family.
definitely one of the most fascinating books that i have ever read. i'll be thinking of this doomed family and their exploits for quite a while.

Some of the deaths and uh..... relations.... are a bit hard to stomach, but that's part of the point of the book and isn't just because of changing times. You'll also have to flip back to the family tree at the beginning in order to keep track of all the Aurelianos. The rest is a wild ride of magic and devastation, and it's a masterclass of descriptive writing.
