It was an interesting book, quite short. I would have aspected more romance, but the more romantic parts were certainly lovely to read. I wanted the story to continue, in order to read more. It was very quick to read, also because the story was always captivating.

I'm also slowly wading my way into her translation of Italo Calvino's [b: The Written World and the Unwritten World|22749722|The Written World And The Unwritten World Essays|Italo Calvino|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1623377726l/22749722._SY75_.jpg|14598796]
Silk's use of literary interpolation permeates the entire story, imbuing the tale with a mildly obsessive repetition, a quality that I think Baricco ties to love. All of this is kept afloat with Baricco's lyrical and light prose.

Me ha gustado mucho tanto el fondo como la forma de contarlo. Me ha transmitido mucha paz. Se lee en un ratito.
