challenging reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The prose is lovely but this book felt far too ‘American’ in its values and alternated between pretentious and dry.
