This book contains many beautiful sentences. It has received many good reviews from the critics. Unfortunately, it was really boring. Maybe I am not deep enough.
This book is unconventional and not always easy to read but it is brilliant. Getting through the first 30 or so pages was difficult - it is very slow but that's part of the point and the effort was worth it. I got hooked by the rhythms and even the repetitions of the story and the village it chronicles and, by the end, was quite enchanted.
It is not recommended for anyone who is seeking action but, in truth, there isn't much but it is a book to be savored.
