Loved the idea of this book...but not the reality of it. The story being narrated was much more captivating to me than the "real life" story (which was compelling but repetitive without seeming to develop) but it was proportionally very little of the book...

There are moments in this book where Maso's writing simply transcends, giving exquisite voice to grief and love and pain and death; and there are moments that feel heavy-handed, pulling me away from the sublime of the narrative. The "more winter" section was beautiful, so much so I almost wished the whole novel was set in the memoir world.

More than moving, more than beautiful. Honest, painful. It's been a while since a book moved me to tears but this one did. Feels a bit ridiculous to write anything after the beauty of this, so I won't.
