This book is so deep and lyrically written, some of the prose is just gorgeous.
BUT, though I appreciate the novel and its meanings, I didn't feel emotionally moved by it. Maybe it was because I couldn't relate to many of the themes, though I have been able to connect with other stories where I have not experienced what the characters go through.
