I feel that I’m not in a position to give an opinion so concrete. My thoughts and emotions are scrambled and confused with my overall impression. There is much to take in and yet I am uncertain whether what is being absorbed has or will truly connect with me. I feel this distance with this intimate recount of the protagonist’s journey, but my fascination to understand and empathise lingers heavily; a desire to someday turn this all into something familiar.
