i honestly didn't like the first few sections (chapters?) of this book. it was pretty and succinct but without direction. then i remembered how much my mother said she wanted to read this and decided it was likely a good book. i kept reading. even now i am not sure what exactly it is i've read, however it was very good.

This audiobook didn't do it for me. 
The prose and writing itself were poetic and almost ethereal. However, the vignette-like, disjointed chapters and nonlinear storyline left me wondering often "what is going on?" and "what is the author trying to convey?". I was frequently distracted from the book or confused by it, which could've been my fault or a matter of simply reading the wrong book at the wrong time.
