Maud asked this question about
Cloud Atlas:
Just started reading it and can't understand most of the words used in almost every sentence... English is not my native language but I've been reading English novels since childhood without problem - does the writing get any easier or is the whole book like this?
Michael Chapman
I suspect if English is not your first language there are a couple of the stories that will be hard to follow, especially the middle one.
