"Yksinäisyys kuorii ihmisen ulos ihostaan, leikkaa kielen ja hylkää hitaasti haihtumaan lukitun huoneen ilmaan."
The language used is so versatile and poetic especially in Finnish. The characters are written in a brutally honest way. The methaphoric story about Bolla makes you think like never before. And after the book was read, all I felt was pure confusion, awe, sadness and disgust at the same time. This book left me speechless.
