I genuinely really like this book. It's thoughtful and really well translated. There were a lot of passages where I had to just reread and take notes because they were so beautifully written. It explores and asks questions about womanhood and loneliness without judgment. I can see this book being part of a fem. lit. syllabus in the future. 

Definitely recommend this book to those that like character driven narratives.
