The Book of Form and Emptiness

I think Ruth Ozeki might be one of the best writers of our time. A tale for the time being is a favorite of mine and I was really excited to read the book of form and emptiness. It is just as beautifully written, it is a great story with amazing characters but it just didn't speak to my soul the way A tale for the the time being did. I'm not sure if it's my own headspace or something lacking in the book but I struggled through reading this even though everything about the book is perfect. I'm so glad I finished it and would recommend it to anyone but I strangely never fell in love.
