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.
