The Shoosha’s Crossin’ section is killing me. I am determined to finish this book, but I keep abandoning it in this section and how it’s written. I can’t skip it, I enjoyed the rest, and this must have been even more difficult to write than it is to read. I see its point and I even see its cleverness. I can cope for a while and get used to it, but then I end up back wanting to throw it across the room.

A.S Byatt says of this book that it’s a rollercoaster, at first you wonder whether you want to get off, but then you don’t want it to end. I’m currently wanting to skip onto another book, and although my interest IS increasing, I am not feeling the pull. I am, however, determined to keep going.
