Stopped reading this book after Page 75, the lack of quotation marks was too annoying for me haha. Also, you're very gorgeous :o

About a decade ago I read a book by Australian Tim Winton and I was irritated by the absence of quotation marks. But then I started reading a lot of works in translation, where quotation marks aren't used. Now I don't even notice it at all, including with Still Life. You too will get used to it, with exposure. Now I prefer it and find that quotation marks are intrusive. I also rated this as a 3 star read, which was a disappointment. Overall I found it boring. I expected it to be a 5 star read

You are so right, the more I read, the more I’m used to the lack of quotations and am starting to feel it allows the book to flow easier. Awe - only 3. Always a bummer when you go in with high hopes.

I agree one hundred percent with your assessment. I loved her writing and I felt so irritated by the last bit. Her editor should have asked her to scrap it or write a separate book about it. Thanks.

Exactly! Glad you enjoyed the good part (aka the entire book otherwise ha!).

Totally agree …. I got all the good feelings you get in your tummy after you finish a really good book …. But then …. It didn’t end! Ha.
