In a reversal world where birth lay on death's bed and life was its partner. Stranded souls with blank faces travel to the center of the world to reach for their other halves. One heart skips thrice as two worlds collide.
Hm, it's safe to say that I haven't quite read a book like this. It's very unique and the issue of age and how it seems to be addressed in the direct opposite way that we see it in our world. Growing old means your growing young? It's a special book for sure. People who like a deep book that teaches hidden concepts, not so obvious, this is for you.
If you are looking for a new book that is lyrical at times as well as philosophically challenging without pandering or becoming formulaic, this is it! I was vaguely reminded of House of Leaves by Danielewski, as I don’t recall being challenged like this since attempting to read that cult (now) classic.
The story has a literal sense to it, there is no fault in the story nor a flaw. The grammar used is perfect, I am not a fan of Romantic Novels but I did like this novel.
Amazing poetry, deep thinking... amazing. Although I was a little lost at first, I found my way back a few chapters later. Still, it's something I would not be able to put together. Keep it up!
I really liked uniqueness this story offers. It certainly reminds me the movie benjamin button where the protagonist was born an old man and as he grows his body turns back to infant. Would certainly recommend this to others!
