It's less that there is anything terrible about this book, it is only that it is. exhausting. A vast bit of the story is committed to portraying the everyday existence of the characters who live in a little, ocean side town. What one does as they get up, what they eat, how they cook, the normal discussions between relatives, what they purchase at the market, which tablecloth to put out and so forth and so forth., involves the majority of the book, as well as each of our own day by day lives.
While commonplace, it's NOT what most take a seat to peruse about. We all live it. It doesn't should be disclosed to us. We KNOW as of now! The vast majority read for a departure from the workaday life, not to interminably re-hash it. That, alongside the over-the-top peak makes this a fairly baffling endeavor by a gifted creator.
