I found this book to be a real slog to get through. There’s some beautiful descriptions of nature, and a couple of wonderful lines, however the plot was incredibly lacking in my opinion. Very little happens and I didn’t seem to get much else. The premise described on the synopsis doesn’t happen until the last few pages.
