Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck

3.0

not sure how to rate this because, even though i began loving it, it kind of fell through for me nearing the end. their tumultuous, problematic relationship does not really go anywhere but continuous, torturous jealousy and guilt and manipulation for…. for what? what is the point? i might have missed it at some point with all the historical background and the guilt-tripping cassettes and their interminable age gap. while it is beautifully written and introspective, i felt as though i didn’t find something i was supposed to have noticed or picked up along the way. regardless, gorgeous writing.
