Why was the book so convoluted?
The caretaker's father just happened to be the old love interest of the paralyzed mute patient? The patient was actually the (not) dead sibling of the patient? Oh and she wasnt mute or paralyzed? Oh and the house is on a crumbling cliff? And the maid is the surprise granddaughter? Geez.
Grammar and stylistic choices were too hard for me to get past. I need quotation marks.
I didn't finish this book, but what I did read I found hard to stomach. It actually surprised me how upsetting I found it, because books don't usually affect me like this.
Just to tell anyone considering this book make sure you feel comfortable reading about tragedies and terrorism (in a fiction book).
This book was super slow and I just couldn't get more than halfway through the book. Very surprising considering his other work.
