The Gentleman From Peru

What was this, wanna be Murakami?

Precise rating: 2.5 ⭐

I'm so disappointed! The writing was beautiful as expected, but the story – though an exciting premise – felt really flat and shallow. I couldn't connect to the characters and the pacing felt weird. Thematically, I was reminded of Call Me by Your Name a few times, but without the same impact that book had had on me.

A very Aciman “missed love” story with a small supernatural twist (?)
Edoardo Ballerini is what made this a fun listen, so dreamy and relaxing.
