A Girl in Exile

Counting this as my Albania Book around the world.

This is my first Kadare novel, although it won't be my last. I didn't love this one, and although the end made it much better and I did like the metaphor of the girl's exile in comparison to the country's exile (that was very clever and powerful) the rest of the book was just a bit....cringeee. I don't know if it was a the translation but the way the narrator talked about women just came off a bit creepy and it made me disinterested in the book.
