It took me several attempts read this, having started 3 times before finishing. I didn’t care for the reverse timeline. The writing style was also a bit difficult at times. As a retired Spanish teacher, I did appreciate the illustrations of language and cultural experiences as well as the time line of events taking place in the world at the time.
