It's hard to say anything about this book even though it's not been long since I finished it. The dialogue structure was pretty weird and sometimes I was confused who was speaking. The book alternated between flashbacks and the present, which gave more flesh to the characters. It was interesting to read a book where I didn't like any of the characters.

Wasn’t so much taken by the story but was blown away by the beautiful, poetic descriptions. Water - rain, sea - and birds recurring motifs. Loneliness, sadness, broken-heartedness and melancholy. Feeling lost, hopeless. There’s darkness in the book. There’s a sense of something threatening.
I loved the Spanish setting and enjoyed getting lost again in Granada, Seville, Barcelona, Cadiz, Malaga.
