I really really wanted to love this book. It’s a good story and the writing, although dense and complicated, was beautiful. But I found myself dreading picking up the book because of the language (even though books like Piranesi did the same thing and I loved it). For me, the plot wasn’t interesting enough to balance out the effort it took to read. However!! It is amazing that this was written in the 1920s; it truly feels like a book written within the last decade.
