I couldn't get past the long winded writing style. Obviously seems like other reviewers like it but I found the pace slow and tedious. It would probably take a paragraph to describe someone's hair. Maybe suitable for someone who likes a slow, intellectual and emotional book. I had set aside time to really get into it but was a bit too overdone and unnecessarily wordy writing style for my liking. Since I didn't finish it, I can't really comment on the plot.
