This is a book told in fragments over the course of a century, beginning in the first world war when John, a soldier loses his leg in an explosion. From then on we are given fragments of stories as he and his descendants are shown to us fleetingly before we move forward -or back-to the next episode.
The writing is beautiful at times-the author comes from poetry, but I enjoy a book with more plot than this.
If asked whether I enjoyed this book I would probably respond, "Maybe". 6/10
