🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
It's a lot shorter than I thought, it's a play that's considered the classic and has powerful emotions. 
It's the wild emotions of the lovers and mother, it's the cry of those who lost loved ones in the Mediterranean countryside where honour and revenge are the purpose of living, and worth dying for.

It's most definitely to be enjoyed as a theatre piece so reading it might not be the best experience of it and of course translation might lose its true colour, but being so short it felt like I needed more for me to go deeper into it.
So yes on a stage one day.
