Despite the confusing switches between the father and son, this was exceptional.
Whew, buddy. A lovely book about a father and son and all of the difficulty that comes with familial relationships. It was incredibly wordy and often times became confusing and tedious to read. I had to put it down for a while and pick it back up later to get more energy to finish. Was it the greatest novel ever? No. Did it open my mind to new works, phrases, and styles of writing? Absolutely. I would recommend for readers who want a slow-paced historical novel to read in their spare time.
Sometimes the sections that were not part of the story were disruptive. I wanted to skip past them to get back to the story, which was wonderful.
