If you love a book that follows a set of characters through their lives and that you absolutely fall in love with, this is the book. 

One of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read.

Took a while to get into it but it was so worth it.

DNF. Sorry, did I miss something? Beautiful prose alone does not maketh the novel. There needs to be compelling story of which I did not find. I didn't feel any connection to the characters either. Yes, some of the dialogue could be witty but it was all banter and no substance for me. (And what's with the trend towards omitting quotation marks??).

Lovely prose and wonderful characters but the chapter length and sentence length made it a bit of a slog to work through
