Beautifully written. Weaves you through folklore and myths over centuries with such a mystical ease. The craving for love in each of the characters is felt.
There are times when some descriptions are gruesome and unsettling though. I found myself skipping through the last 30 pages while it tried to reiterate everything the book had already said.
