You never really know what you’re going to get with a book that’s been translated to English… a bad translation can turn a good book into something not great. Luckily, The House of Impossible Loves was a pretty darn good book.
If you like fairy tales or good storytelling, in general. If you like extra-quirky storytelling, then you’re probably going to really like this one. It’s not a quick, easy read (which is why it took me so long to get through it. I read like a chapter a day for the first three days, because I was too sick to really focus and it does take a lot of focus to follow) but well worth sticking with it.
