so-soI‘m afraid I didn‘t love this book as much as many other Littens seem to do. I‘m not keen on magical realism as a rule, but I think it was more to do with the disjointed narrative in the first half of the book. The blurb implied it was Simonopio‘s story, but there were so many threads with different leading characters I couldn‘t figure out the narrative arc.
Yes, the second half picked up a bit but by then I‘d already lost most of my interest.
squirrelbrain At least I finished and it‘s another off the TBR! @Caroline2 🤣 3y
Librariana It's a shame when that happens... losing interest halfway through. But great attitude about it! Another book off your TBR ☺️ 3y
Caroline2 Well done for finishing! I‘ve stalled, I don‘t want to pick it back up so I think it‘s going to be a bail for me. I‘m struggling with the snow flower book too. 🤦♀️ 3y
squirrelbrain Oops @caroline2 - I meant to tell you the other day that I tried the first chapter of snow flower and decided it just wasn‘t for me. 😬 This is all because I said how well our #extendedbuddyread was going and how much I was enjoying it! 3y
Caroline2 😆 how funny! Yeah I‘m bailing on that too. Oh well. Onwards and upwards for April then! 😃 👍 3y
