Is Mother Dead by Vigdis Hjorth

delpoop's review against another edition

4.0

I did enjoy this book, however it was not quite what I thought I was getting into. The topics were quite deeper than I was expecting, I myself did not know that I would be left pondering my relationship with my mother, but here we are. All in all, it is a very good, deep, and thoughtful read. The repetitiveness of the unstable narrator made the reader question what was really happening. It really keeps you on your toes and holding your breathe, unsure of what will be happening next.
