This is one of those stream of consciousness books that kind of lack a narrative goal and you're just there to enjoy the ride. Quite fast read this had lot of really great and imaginative writing, and I really enjoyed lot of the themes here.

I do usually struggle little bit keeping my interest up with stream of consciousness writing and again towards the end I found myself struggling to finish this.

Overall still worthwhile read that I would recommend.

An interesting and thought provoking stream of consciousness book. I enjoyed the writing but it did take some time to adjust to it, especially since I'm not normally a fan of stream of consciousness writing. Loved the themes explored within.

Thank you to the publisher for the e-copy.

an interesting premise and enjoyable writing, but I found myself drifting off while reading. it also took a while to actually be engaged with what was going on. might have been the right book but the wrong mood. if you’re into more experimental and vibe-heavy books, this is a good fit for you

Equal parts stunningly beautiful and achingly heartrending, Vi Khi Nao's "The Italy Letters" is the closest thing we have to an English example of the Portuguese notion of saudade. Brilliant, emotional, full of feeling.
