Can’t quite put my finger on what I didn’t like about this book. I guess I went into it expecting one thing and got a completely different thing. I didn’t understand the motivations of most of the characters. I’m don’t think I got the point of what the author was trying to say, if anything. At times the writing felt good, and at others it felt repetitive. The cast of characters felt a little one-dimensional and could’ve used some fleshing out (excuse the pun). I wish we were given more time to care about them in the beginning of the story so we could understand this long journey the narrator embarked on. Would love to see a version of this book written by a woman.
