Ghost Music
by An Yu
Ghost Music is the second novel by Chinese author An Yu.
I enjoyed this reading, especially the insight on how love in a relationship can slowly fade away, and how one's identity can fade as well into the other person's needs and necessities
However, there were some elements of the novel structure that left me a little perplexed and slightly ruined what was otherwise an enjoyable reading. Notably, I felt that the few elements of magical realism are not fully exploited and do not fit into the story. They could have worked if only they were enhanced more, and made more present.
Concerning the plot itself, there was one part of the plot in particular that appeared disjointed from the rest of the story, creating a sort of a second separate plot that comes together at the end, but in a forced way.
