Trying to read this novel I’ve bought in 2015 and having some difficulties to identify why is this a Pulitzer Prize winner. Yes, the story is interesting, but everything about WWII is kind of interesting. But I’m truly fighting with his writing style, which seems a bit cheesy to me.

Maybe the problem is with the translation I’m reading (Brazilian Portuguese), but I feel his style is a bit tacky.

Would love to know what you guy think about this novel. I’m on page 40 and I'm wondering if it's worth reading it.
