Stick with it oldbatty. I have just finished it with my book club. I too wasn't sure at first, but it is a book of many layers and with lots of overlapping stories.
Oh do keep at it! I felt the same, as it does seem a bit off the wall to begin with. But it turned into a wonderful read, so very clever how everything kind of tied up. Like a fairy tale for grown-ups
I agree with you oldbatty. I didn’t really get it, so to speak, yet several of my friends raved about it. I wouldn’t bother to go and see it as a film if one was made.
I really didn’t enjoy this book and I ended up DNFing it in the end. I rarely do this. It just because such a cliche to me. I acknowledge many love this book but it really wasn’t my cup of tea.
