Mediocre if I'm being polite. Ineffectual if I'm being honest.
Though, gotta say, the ambiance and family dynamic descriptions were done pretty well without being written for what I call the "Western gaze". The translation is seamless when compared to a lot of other books too. So great on those fronts. Sadly, the story itself did little more than nothing for me.
Overall, a short, aimless read.
