I'm not quite sure how to review this novel. At the end I still felt confused; the plot seemed evasive or maybe even non-existent. Or maybe I just missed it, because for whatever reason, it was easy for me to zone out a bit while reading this book.
But it was written so incredibly beautifully.
And by a 25 year old.
So it was a wonderful read even though I didn't focus well enough to pick up on what exactly was going on half the time. Mostly, it was a conglomeration of stories from the narrator's grandfather's life, so maybe there wasn't one major plot that I was meant to pick up on at all. Either way, I'm glad to have read it...and if you choose to read it yourself, you might want to read it away from beautiful weather and other distractions so you can digest more of it than I did. Just a thought.
