I really enjoyed the premise of this novel, but the delivery was not what I was exactly expecting. 

In the past, I have enjoyed a few translated stories, but they are not my main genre of choice. If you know you love translated novels, and stories set in other countries surrounding characters from other cultures, this book might be perfect for you. Much like the description says, this book is very introspective. It really digs into past traumas and how they can really take control of your life and how you interact with the people around you. 

Things that really lowered my rating: the pacing, this book was very slow. When we were going through each story for each character, I was expecting a bit more emotional impact (which might just be my interpretation). I think if the delivery was different I would have been able to rate this book a little higher and been a little more excited or satisfied by the ending.
