this is a fantastic book for its genre, just not my personal cup of tea. only read it for a storygraph challenge, but i did appreciate the chilean history cause i’d never heard anything about it before

thoughts while reading

Victor thought how ironic it would be to have survived the war and the concentration camp only to die squashed like a cockroach in his improbable girlfriend's vehicle.

Going around in a sulk will get you nowhere. Pain is unavoidable, but suffering is optional.
