This was on my list I think for a long time, I pulled it up because I saw Oh William! was on the list of the Booker prize this year. I did not enjoy/understand the story telling here - admittedly I listened to the audiobook version, so maybe reading it on paper would have made it clearer - but it felt very stream of consciousness. I kept waiting for a big reveal (why was she in the hospital - what had happened when she was a kid) - I didn't feel I got any kind of payoff that way.

The fact that she "loved" so many people (repetitively) in the narrative I also was unsure of --- was that just setting up her character? Was there supposed to be more to it? Maybe I needed the benefit of reading this with a group to talk through my questions/provide clarity.
