Book Description

Tracing the lives of a group of friends, this novel follows their development from childhood to middle age. Social events, individual achievements and disappointments form the outer structure of the book, but the focus is the inner life of the characters which is conveyed in rich poetic language.

4 Reviews

The single most extraordinary book ever written by the author. Its form is absolutely perfect, it sounds like pure music. The content is life itself, seen from all its possible angles.

I never managed to get "into" it, I found it dull, repetitive and boring. Well written, of course, but I definitely will not be re-reading it any time soon.

So frustrating, so boring, so unlikely to be finished.
