The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Beautiful writing. This man is truly a poet. Great to dip into magical realism again, this makes me want into an Isabel Allende rabbit hole.

However, I like plot. I like some kind of growth in a novel and this was very very ambiguous. I don't typically read novels just for the beauty of the writing/words which is why this book is 3 stars. Writing style? 5/5. But the plot, although also possessing its own beauty, just didn't have enough of a true resolution for me.
