the writing was stunning. i sometimes struggled getting through certain parts of the book though, especially the first part.
the rather serious themes as well as my inability to relate to a large part of the characters‘ backstory (immigration, war) contributed to this, but to no fault of the author. i‘m just not 100% part of the target audience of this book, which unfortunately impacted my experience with it but doesn‘t make this any less good of a book.
