Took some time to get used to the writing style, didn't realise the alternative chapters of the story were different perspectives until a few chapters in. Interesting that the two main characters were not given names, their identity is reduced to the country they've lived in all their lives.
Whilst I understand the third part ties off the main themes and the narrative of the story, I lost interest.
Glad to have read it, at least it was a short read at just over 200 pages.
I do understand that this is a story in which you don't like any of the characters and don't like any of the things happening.
