A review by macati
Inglaterra Inglaterra by Julian Barnes

3.0

I would give 4 stars to 1: England and 3: Anglia, first and third chapter of the book; and would give 1 or 2 stars to 2: England, England, second/middle chapter of the book. Knowing that chapter 2 is necessary to get to chapter 3, it shouldn't be more than half of the book as it is - there were parts I would dismiss as they didn't add anything to the story nor did they make me want to read more. After part 1 of the 2nd chapter, I was seriously thinking about stopping. It could perfectly be a short story, it would make me happy. I liked the main character of the book, she seemed a very real person to me. The idea of the story is very interesting (and now with the Brexit, so uptodate) with good thoughts and very nice descriptions allowing me to visualise everything. never read anything from this author and maybe I will read another work by him.
