Ugh I love closing a book and thinking 'well, that was perfect'. The writing (Vogel's translation) was so compulsively readable that it felt like this book was an unstoppable tsunami just throwing me along in my little rubber dinghy - everything churned beneath the surface and it was so unnerving and bizarre and searing while being so flipping FUNNY that it was all just irresistible. Cor blimey I want to read more Lina Wolff, what a read!!
