Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
I… do not want to read a book with an abuser as a protagonist 😕.
The book is interesting and cool, i was excited to learn about albanian-serbian relations but Arsim is not only a bad partner but actively physically assaults his wife. I get his whole thing is being forced in the closet, but I feel like you can be a closet case without abusing your wife because she got pregnant because you can’t keep your hands off her (you’re also an f slur who hates her btw.)
