I love this book! I devoured it in 2 days. I usually read genres like crime and thriller but for some reason this book fell into my hands in the bookshop. It's a mysterious book with many sub plots that somewhat come together in the end. At the beginning I was a bit confused as to what is happening when, what is in the past and what in the present, but you get the hang of it quite fast. I read it in German and it was wonderfully translated. Although it has elements of a thriller, it is a novel and it is not about finding out who did what. There are a lot of things left open but somehow it suits the book.
For me it was something different and it was really great.
