It was a challenge to finish this book, which I finally did at the point when I am writing my remarks. The only reason I liked reading was the beautiful prose in which is written. The story line is no line at all but a circle in which we keep moving without reaching anywhere! Yes, the vocabulary , the syntax and the style shows the genius of the writer. I don’t know should the credit go to the writer or the translator. Just a request in the end to the Planet books= when we finish the reading for the day, there is no provision to save the page number. When we reopen next time, the screen acts as a paper roll- no clue where we left and from where to begin. That surely is a dampner as lat of time is wasted in locating the para at which we closed previously!
