This book follows the life of Roland Baines, his traumas, romantic and family relationships across various historical events, from the World War II to the pandemic.
I've found the book slow paced, however, it was interesting to read and see those events from Roland's eyes.
While the prose is beautiful and the book is well written, wouldn't it be from Ian McEwan, the large paragraphs and overall formatting were discouraging, and I would have preferred to read it in the first person.
Thank you Netgalley and Knopf Doubleday Publishinging for the advanced copy of this book.
