I can understand why this is considered an important piece of literature.
That being said, due to the fact that every female character is raped (up until 135 pages at least), I cannot believe that to this day people are heralding this book without critiquing the way women are treated. Gave up reading as quite frankly there are better classics that deserve my time more than this load of horseshit.

Lives up to the hype? Read it if you’re up for an ever-unwinding family saga and some OG magical realism, don’t read it if you get frustrated keeping track of names or by problematic protagonists 😂 not for everyone
