Mid-way through. I don't usually read books touching upon this subject but I thought it was a very human portrayal of the forgotten day to day story of those affected by the war in Colombia. I found the main character, an old man, endearing and sad.

Leyendo en el centro internacional de Bogotá.

Wanted to move to non-fiction for a while, written by a woman and hopefully contemporary. As the author just won the Costa award, I retread the plot and something clicked. Bought it last night and so far so good.

Found the story so interesting I'm trying to make more and more space to read! Not a page turner but needs to be savoured slowly but steadily.

Hasta ahora compendio de momentos de la vida de Jesús desde la perspectiva de personas que estuvieron presentes. Debido a la estructura de la historia, no hay mucho espacio para desarrollar los personales secundarios y lamentablemente tampoco el principal! Eso si, por su estructura es una narrativa sencilla, refrescante después del libraco de Dickens!

Almost there! Need to wrap this up in less than a week.

I continue to make progress - the plot is unravelling nicely and the seemingly never ending introduction of new characters is reaching an end. Still a bit to go but hoping to be done by end July!

Keeping at it and reading whenever I can. Story doesn't move much but at least it seems that finally the characters are fully outlined! It was hard to keep up with a new bunch each chapter. Hopefully in a couple of months I'll be done!

It's been a while since I last read a book of over 500 pages... I started in my kindle and remember seeing with dismay that the progress bar did not budge after several About to reach the 100 page bar.
