It's slow going but I'm actually quite enjoying it. The only downside is the actual physical book, it's the only copy I could find and for an over 800 page novel who on earth decided to give it rigid pages?

At what point is a novel exposing the harmful realities/ideologies of a time period or simply exploring a white man's world? I cannot tell you how many times every. single. woman in this story as been called a "whore". I WANT to like these characters and at points they ARE likeable, then they say something outrageously racist, sexist, and just straight up gross. I don't want to come across as a prude but oh. my. god.

"They [women] didn't understand that he talked of pleasant things and faraway places just to create a happy prospect that they could look forward to for a while. It wasn't meant to really happen, and yet women never seemed to grasp that"

I. Hate. This. Man. After everything Lorena's been through, this gets revealed.

Everyone praises this book so I'm going to keep reading for a bit longer just to see

I've been in a really bad reading slump but I finally reached 100 pages. Only 779 pages to go.

I have only seen amazing reviews for this but I guess we'll see if I make it through or not
