Comes with a solid amount of trigger warnings - please be aware of the pedophilia and grooming that happens in this book. I found it interesting and well written, but not much more than that. The thought process of the narrator is understandable and makes sense in light of the gaslighting and grooming he faced, but it lacked something for me personally. It raises some interesting points about the processing of the holocaust post-war, but then again, I do feel like there's other works of literature that do this in a more profound way with a more lasting impact.

jeg leste høytleseren som sommerleks, og jeg hadde så mange følelser. jeg følte med karakterene, selv etter mange feil. det var flere plot-twists jeg aldri kunne se komme. ble veldig veldig glad i den.
