I knew this book was going to be dreamlike, but it was weird and great and eventually, also heartwarming and emotional.
It's difficult to put into words the plot itself both because it's so fuzzy and because it would be a pity to spoil it for upcoming readers.
The main character is naively beautiful, the prose like a dream, and the reading experience completely unique. Even if odd, you should take the risk and give it a try to see if you'll love it. Give it at least 30% to decide whether you'll stick around.
