The Melody by Jim Crace
1.0
1,5 stars.
This was a complete mismatch to my expectations after reading the back cover. May just be that this isn't my book, and that other people do really love the writing style and see something more in this story, but for me it just didn't pick up at all. A few moments were exciting, and I thought, oh, here comes the heart of the story. But then it stayed out. Also, the heaps of description instead of actually letting scenes play out just isn't my preferred style of reading.
The cover is still very pretty though.
