Ordesa by Manuel Vilas

5.0

This is an either/or book, either you love it or you don't. And if you do, it's something you ponder and wonder and think about for days after, even after you told yourself that you don't ponder. It's a book you stop reading to share with your roommate and ask them if they to think the same thoughts or have they thought of it this way before. Death, life, and love are topics covered with some deep thoughts. I found myself wanting highlight the library copy, but held back. There for sure were parts that felt like reading someone's daily journal of thoughts. This isn't a book with action, but it's a book I feel will be included on future college syllabi. If you try it and it doesn't resonate, wait and try again- it definitely is one you have to be ready to digest.
