A review by jg34
Portrait of an Unknown Lady by María Gainza

Alright I know I listened to this on audio and totally could have zoned out a time or two but I didn’t really get this book. I hate to generalize but I have recently read a few translated books and I’m wondering if it is an issue in translation or just a cultural difference, but I have found most translated books to be really impersonal. It’s just like this happened and that happened but am I reading a history book? How am I meant to feel???

even the death early in the book felt like it was glossed over with no emotional depth.

The story can be really interesting but this type of story telling loses me right away. 
Didn’t give a star rating - I can hardly say I read this book with how little I took in and can remember even right after finishing
