Still reading: An Empire of Women by Karen Shepard

It's taking me more than a week, and I'm still a lot of pages away from the end of the story. Good in a way coz it's a joy to read. This is the first time I've encountered the style, alternating between third person and one of the main character's (Celine's) point of view. The book takes its time, each chapter about the events of one day, with lots of little interesting details given. I just wish I have longer time sitting with the book so that I'd enjoy it more.

I'm now at the part where a lot has been revealed but not too much that i can't start over again. I just feel that there were little things my sleepy head wasn't able to give enough attention to, and that those little things are necessary for me to be able to appreciate the story more. Or maybe it's the political/historical details in the story that my mind refuses to take in that I feel I missed, and unfortunately those parts are significant too.

Hmmm.
