Well-written and characters very realistic.
For a male author, I was happy how he depicted the female narrator, there wasn’t a point where I was like “you can tell a man is trying to write a woman”. The bar is on the floor for that but still, thought it was worth mentioning.
Interesting plot but it lost its pace for me around halfway through and I had to slog through a little bit before a pacy ending.
Speaking of the ending,I’m not sure how much I liked it, it seems like the entire book was built on such small things and details, the chips in the mugs, the condition of the door, the view from the window etc… but then the main character kills her husband of like 20 years and it gets like 2 pages and a quick afterthought! Then just not knowing if Aina and the children make it off that place… I don’t know.
I think overall a good book but just not my cup of tea!
