Tbh this was painful to get through. I probably missed the subtleties of the narrative as I just didn’t enjoy reading it. I’m sure it’s good but wasn’t for me.
I know this is somewhat of a 'cult' book but I found it mostly tedious and pointless - a couple of the stories were good. Perhaps I just didn't 'get it'??

Luhks loaned this to me a couple of years ago with little fanfare, and it proceeded to hang out on my shelf ignored for a long time. I circled back to it once the movie was in the works and our book club chose to read it.
I think most people struggled to enjoy the first section or two, but by the third segment - Luisa Rey - I was completely absorbed and couldn't wait to keep reading.
Mitchell is a wizard of dialects. He does a damn good job of placing you in six different environments/eras within one book.
My best advice to other readers would be (..and this is coming from someone who would USUALLY advise ditching a book if you have to force yourself to read it): let it warm up.
