En modern svensk klassiker. Väldigt lugnande berättarröst med dystra teman. Fin.

Extremt lättläst.

5.0

Mørk sosialrealisme med solid komposisjon og språk. Ubehagelig interessant miljø og karakterskildringer. Hovedpersonen vender tilbake til sitt hjemsted og fortid, og hun blir konfrontert med hemmeligheter og minner. Synes i blant at konfliktene og hemmelighetene utspilte seg litt fort. Ser fram til å lese de to andre bøkene.

Smirnoff is obviously a very talented author and I really like the way the book is written, it was just a bit too miserable for me.
