I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher
I'm reviewing the English translation of this book. It pains me to drop it so soon but I could not keep up with the plot. The author has a very particular way of writing that didn't work for me. A little too rushed with short, quick sentences that told me nothing. I understand why the narration was like that, after all the protagonists are old people who don't have all their faculties, but it didn't capturee my attention. The little that I got to see of the characters did not endear me to them in the least. I found them all too quirky and unrealistic. Perhaps with an easier to follow storyline I could have accepted them for what they are, but in this case it simply turned me off from the book
