A review by atlasalpine
City of Ulysses by Teolinda Gersão

3.0

Interesting melancholic love story, but steers a bit too much off to talking about the history of Lisbon from time to time which might be something that rubs some people the wrong way as it does not bring the whole story forward; Gets better towards the end when it actually feels like a proper narrative that has enjoyable speed of progression which I greatly enjoyed! I'm quite sure that people who have grown up in Lisbon have much deeper connection with the whole book VS someone who has been there for a week or so.
