Not my writing style/not characters that I enjoyed. A work of art that I can appreciate, but not lose myself in.

A book was Francesca’s undoing; here, the waltz was ours.

This is a strange book. I loved the short chapters, and in general it was fun to read, though near the end it became tedious. The translation is absolutely exquisite, though.
