It did take a moment for me to get into the rhythm of this book, but once I did it was compelling. I’m not 100% convinced about the sections where Owen, the narrator, is addressing his aunt Ornella - I’m not sure it really makes sense, to be honest, as Ornella is never really a central character, and yet half the book is Owen reflecting on his life to her. All in all, I enjoyed this book and I suspect I will continue to think about it for a long time to come.
