Our House in the Last World

The writing is pretty solid, and downright poetic in spots � particularly the reminiscences of his mother, and the family's original heritage. However, I did feel as a reader that I was skipping around through time and space; it felt a bit 'loose'.
I would have liked maybe some more dialog snippets, or more pieces of color. I felt as if I was being talked at, and even though a certain amount of that is to be expected for this type of work, I feel the author had the skill and capacity to make the history even more engaging.
But, to fairly note, I had some difficulty arousing interest for the subject matter, as I am female, white, and the furthest-possible demographic to connect with the experience. Yet, I admit it was very well written. It was worth reading for the perspective and insight.
