It was an introspective read narrated by an unreliable narrator. I went in without knowing the backstory and I think knowing a bit of the backstory would be a good idea before starting to read.
The development in the story made me lose interest

The concept of having masters/mistresses of mystery writing takes up this story chapter by chapter is so innovative and was so much fun to read! The solution was decent and it was also enjoyable to read the alternative solutions proposed.

A beautiful rendition of literary realism. A character sketch in the 19th century of a vain, selfish woman who has her head in the clouds and refuses to accept the boring reality of her life - yet who is drawn with such empathy by Flaubert that you cannot help feeling for and identifying with her.

Immigrants in one's own country juxtaposed with illegal immigration to another - the turmoil, the anger and hatred, and trauma and pathos are all portrayed in this novel. It's quite dark at times with chinks of humor in other places. A thought- provoking read. I give it 3.5 only because it was difficult to read in a lot of parts
