4.5
At times the story dragged on a bit, but after two thirds I couldn’t put the book aside.
Also, this was an edition translated into German. Some words and phrases did not seem to work for me which kind of affected my sympathy for the characters and even their relationship. Although this also could have been because the story is set in the 1950s. I definitely need to read it in English as well!
Apart from that the story is just tragically beautiful and written in such a detail you easily find yourself relating to Therese.
