I’m a sucker for fiction that plays with philosophy. I highlighted so many interesting passages. The sentences are long and winding, but thought-provoking and lyrical. It speaks to how we often discover more about ourselves through our interactions with others and how our relationships tend to outline our lives. I don’t know that it’s a book for everyone, but if you enjoy meandering, character-centered narratives that don’t fuss over plot, then you may love this book. It is definitely what I like to call a slow-burning read.

You are likely to enjoy it in indirect propotion to the importance to you attach to the plot of a novel since it doesn't have one. I always found plot to be least important element of novel and thus loved it. There are lots of stories in here that aren't forced into being plots for complete novels - I mean who does it really help if you write a three hundred page novel for a story that could be told in thirty pages?
