At least it was amusing until the rape, which was the start of horrible, gross, and weird things that really turned me off to this book even though the writer just won a major international award. The next section, from the point of view of the brother-in-law, creeped me out even more. I heard the voice change a couple of times as if there were a few sentences Stephen refused to read. If that's true, good for him.
The book was sold on the idea that a woman's decision to turn vegetarian shakes up her family, but that's not really what was going on with her. Minor spoiler ahead: The third section, from the sister's p.o.v., explores what it might be like to have a sister who has gone crazy and is dying of anorexia. I get annoyed when books' marketers misrepresent the product.

Ich kann mir richtig gut vorstellen, wie dieses Buch im Deutschunterricht* auseinander genommen und bis zum geht nicht mehr interpretiert wird. Sowas lag mir nie, dafür bin ich einfach eine zu oberflächliche Leserin.
Der Sexismus und die Objektifizierung der Frauen, welche von den männlichen Figuren ausging, hat mich tierisch aufgeregt, aber ich glaube das war auch der Sinn...? Aber ich bin wie gesagt nicht immer mitgekommen, und das lag nur zum Teil daran, dass ich das Hörbuch gehört habe.
Aber hey, ich habe eine weitere Nobelpreisträgerin abhaken können und habe einen Ausflug aus meiner Komfortzone raus gemacht.
* so ein krasses Buch in der Schule lesen? Das wird doch nie passieren! Naja, also ich durfte in der Schule Das Parfum (Mord & Massenorgie), Räuberhände (Sex mit der Mutter des besten Freundes), Die Leiden des jungen Werther (Suizid) und Homo Faber (Sex mit der eigenen Tochter) lesen. Da reihen sich (Spoiler für die content warnings)

Though I hated one character and their actions, the writing still made the book somewhat enjoyable.
Def check content warnings on this one. Because it isn’t a book on vegetarianism 😅
