Some fantastically written sentences and passages, but so so baggy. I've heard it is far inferior to Life and Fate. Grossman seems to be introducing a new character, or even more than one, every single chapter. And the chapters are only a few pages long. At times a novel can feel heavily populated and therefore very alive, but in this case, I am starting feel frustrated and confused.

Grossman insists, even nearing the half way mark, on introducing several new characters with every chapter.

Left this in England while I was in Germany (would need an extra suitcase to pack it), but we're back now.
