OK, maybe I am a little disgruntled by the last few duds I have read but this is too much for a first paragraph on the first page:
- white sheep
- green hills
- whiteness of the sheep
- greenness of the hills
- greyness of the skies
- silver-green olive groves
- black and brown goats
Sigh.

Two thirds in, and can't get a feel for the story or characters. Salma is supposed to be adjusting to her life, but she is so fractured. Can't empathise at all.

Finally starting to get a grip on the flipflopping timelines. Sometimes pronouns don't match the subjects, and there are still paragraphs in the middle that are utterly mystifying.

Feel guilty about being so hard on the book. It has a lot of sensory description, too much one can argue, but it isn't all bad. The shifting thought-like narrative is disconcerting though.
