Lovely romance arc, but I like the guy's story more.

This is a beautiful tale, where lyricism meets mysticism on the beautiful island of Trinidad. The authentic language and vivid descriptions of the city brought back memories of family visits, and I recognised some characters too ;) The book requires you to suspend your disbelief just a little, but balances this well with the exploration of themes we all encounter in our daily lives - love in all its forms, loss and loneliness.

DNF. It's me. I don't read love stories. So why did I pick this up? (Shrug emoji)
