3,5/5 stars. This is a book that I need to reread in a few years. It is also one of those kinds of books that seem somewhat directionless and all over the place when you’re reading them. Only afterwards can you see the beauty of it. I found myself actually skipping bits towards the end. It was a light read though, and the prose is simply beautiful. It’s a book about a forlorn time, and I think it is more beautiful if you can identify with it a bit more. Now it felt sometimes somewhat endless.
