Our Share of Night

An Argentinian family saga about a cult worshipping the god of Darkness. A father and his son, both very alluring to others and in possession of supernatural powers, try to escape the cult and their demands on them. Occasionally the book picks up and then there are mysterious, slightly gory rituals, but the rest is a meandering coming-of-age tale. I was okay with the story and the characters, but I can't understand why so many on here praise her writing. I found her style - hyper verbose, spelling everything out, even meaningless stuff - really maddening. So many passages could have just been edited down. The book is way too long. So long, I almost forgot how annoyed I was at her earlier on for including the phantom limb mirror therapy and David Bowie.
