I liked uncovering the history of the family through the eyes of the youngest member.
I did feel like certain points in the story were told quite confusing. I had to go back to previous paragraphs a couple of times, to make sure I got the context right.

It's written like Goethes himself wrote it and the story is heartbreaking (and way better than Goethes Faust btw). But I just could not stand the long chapters where no sentence connects to the other. It is SO random that it is unnecessarily hard to read. The author has talent, that's obvious, but it's also obvious that this is his first novella.
