While I found parts of this book interesting, especially the tidbits about Mara's experience as a translator, it got lost in all the extensive descriptions of taxidermy and horses. I enjoyed the historical notes included in each chapter but wished there was more of a connection to what was going on in the story. 

Overall, this book was interesting, reflective, and challenging. Although I did not connect with it in the way I had hoped when I picked it up, I'm sure others will.
