           Have to be brutally honest. This book just wasn’t for me. Not my taste. I did stick with it and it got easier toward the end but I only stuck with it because I hate starting a book and having the oooo what if it got better. I did understand some of the Scot’s/Orkney dialect but it didn’t flow for me. I read most of the translation at the bottom of the pages but even with that due to many of the Orkney words having multiple meanings the translation was like whatwherehowwhy which really bugged me out. But I’m sure it’s someone’s kind of book. Like astrid and darling? I dunno but is there something deeper there? I just don’t know. Super confused with all the characters? It all kinda meshed together for me.
