4.0
Disclaimer: I knocked my rating down 0.75 due to the racism (use of the n-word) and anti semitic tones.
I enjoyed this book, the story and the characters, more than I initially thought I would. The descriptions of the running of the bulls made me long for Spain, and yearn to travel abroad and seek out new horizons. The characters relationships and interactions had depth and intrigued me from the start. At the end of the day, it’s a tale as old as time. “And isn’t it pretty to think so?”
