    This is a slow-building story but I rather enjoyed the deep discussions on religion that were fostered by the relationships of the brothers.

And I could not figure out their relationships with the brothers or who loved whom? All in all, I am glad I read this book for what I gained from it. I do feel I lost something in the translation.
