A review by edwardgrey
General of the Dead Army by Ismail Kadare
4.0
Found this book while going through Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century list and decided to pick it up since the author was Albanian.
The book was a little slow and hard to keep going at times, but it also had it's shining, memorable moments. I would say that it wasn't what I expected it was gonna be. The way the albanian landscape and weather is described is quite melancholic. In my immaginations I would often see grey.
As always I'm glad I read this book, thought I'm not sure how many people I could recommend it to.
