It was unsettling. I’m not sure I liked it, but I also had to keep reading to see if the creepy feeling was for a reason.
Upon choosing this book, I thought it took place in the real country, Andorra, but if you know anything about geography you will realize quickly as you start reading that this is set in a fictional Andorra. That just added to the dreaminess or surreality of the book.
About halfway through, I described a scene to my husband as being like something from Camus’ “The Stranger.” But I always seem to think that when describing books in which the characters are overcome by heat and sun.
