This is a popular international novel. But English is not the first language of the book. It's an unfortunate translation because the story seems interesting.

This is such a poor translation that it comes across as mediocre fan fiction. I believe there might be an engaging and interesting story herein, but I could not get past the first fifty pages. At times it seemed like an automated translation without any human editor involved in the process.

A randomly chosen example, from early in the book: "All men became silent but didn't look at her; instead, they gazed emptily ahead, avoiding her as if she was Medusa - and Oswald turned back slowly, with an angered look on his face:"

Did not finish.
