Sommige zinnen zijn mooi poëtisch; sommige zinnen zijn té poëtisch.

Det tar emot lite att bara ge den en trea, när första tredjedelen var bland det bästa och finaste jag läst. Kommer kanske tillbaka till den igen!

Je n'accroche pas du tout au style, plutôt fragmentaire, presque bordélique...

Knygą įvardinčiau kaip arčiau žemės esančiam skaitytojui subalansuotą Škėmos egzistencializmo versiją. Mažai optimizmo, daug ryžtingos akistatos su bauginančia žmogaus psichologija. Labai gražūs svarstymai apie žmogaus santykį su menu.

Eh?? Alla hans böcker gör mig förvirrad. Varför? Misären tar verkligen inte slut när det kommer till Tunström.

Argh! I just finished one disappointing book only to face ANOTHER let down, the worst thing is that generally I like books in this vein.

Solveig is trampled by a herd of cows, while on her way to sing in a choir performing Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and her husband cannot cope with this loss. As a result he moves away and his action effects two generations of his family, in the most complex way possible.

Sounds great but i found the novel to be quite tedious at times but thankfully the chapters are short and I was able to read it at a good pace.

Lets hope I wont have a hat trick of dull books!
