Couldn't put this down! The writing is lyrical and the author's ability to portray place is impeccable. I really cared about Elle and enjoyed the dual timelines. The only thing that would have made this better for me was an epilogue.

Eu não sabia nem do que se tratava a história, e acho que foi uma ótima opção (a menos que tenha sensibilidade a alguns gatilhos, aí recomendo procurar sobre, eu deixo no StoryGraph).
A forma como a narrativa mescla momentos intensos, com uma narrativa intimista e que me lembrou Um lugar bem longe daqui, com atmosfera bucólica e melancólica.
Ao se passar em 1 dia, mas a narrativa alterna entre passado e presente, é tão bem desenvolvida, que fica impossível largar, embora seja um calhamaço.
Um recorte de uma vida e das gerações de uma família e os acontecimentos que permeiam e refletem em atitudes, com um Palácio de Papel ao fundo.

Good story with twists and turns. Nonlinear, providing interesting context. Definitely read content warnings though. It got really dark.
