IT'S FINALLY OVER! This was supposed to be my book of the month for May. It is now late July. I have only just managed to slog my way to the end. I wasn't sure why I found it so hard to get through until I realised the author is a mary oliver fan. I have no patience for that type of abstract prose. Ngl I skipped abt 40 pages of the law and order section but God I'm so glad I'm done.
