The Mermaid of Black Conch

This one took me a very long time to read, because I essentially read it in two parts (after it lost my attention almost halfway through, when it shifted to the main focus of the book). It's definitely not a simple read, and it has some interesting moments regarding (post-)colonialism, feminism, ecology, ... but unfortunately it just lost steam for me halfway through and was never able to win me back.

Still a good read, but unfortunately a bit disappointing, especially after hearing so much praise.
