I have finally managed to get past the first two chapters of this book. I have put it down twice before, but now I am loving it. Ben Okri somehow makes the mundane spiritual. He has created a weird and wonderful world. I am reading a few chapters each couple of days and cannot imagine reading it in one sitting.

This is an amazing book for adults.

I am now adding to this a month later.  I ended up skim-reading the last part. The plot didn’t hold me. Sigh.

There is another book similar to this that I have read recently. It is called ‘The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree’.
