Distant Relations
Title of the original version reviewed: «Le relazioni lontane»
AI Translation Notice: This review was translated from the original Italian using artificial intelligence. Book quotes and excerpts are translated interpretations and will not match the author's original English phrasing or official published translations.
The novel is set in Paris and recounts the strange parallel story of two homonymous families: a peculiar Mexican figure living in France in a secluded villa, and the young, unlikable son of a friend of the narrator.
It is a surreal narrative that unfolds in a tedious and prolix manner.
I was unable to finish the novel.
