Intensiivisyydessään lähes insestinen kertomus veljen ja siskon traagisesta riippuvuussuhteesta. Tarina alkoi dramaattisesti onnettomuudella ja siitä vain kiihdytti vauhtiaan loppua kohti.

It was was a short book but a lot happened in it. I found it confusing and not very readable. All in all, it wasn’t really my thing.

"The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas."

I should have known better than to read a surrealist, but oh well.
