- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.0
I can see why this was on the longlist for the International Booker Prize, but I also think, that there are better books out there, that would have been worth being nominated.
The writing is very sparse, the protagonists not really distinct and the story not only a bit confusing, but mainly about male toxic behaviour and who needs to read more about that?
Siomara’s story would have been the much more interesting one.
