What My Body Remembers by Agnete Friis
2.0
2 stars = it was ok.
Ella is a young single mother on welfare. Her son was taken away from her as she suffered occasional episodes. She took her young son back and went to hide out at her Grandmother's empty house, and that is the start of the book.
Translated books are a hit or miss and this one was a miss for me. It started off ok but as the book proceeded I felt it lacked focus. The writing didn't really engage me and the plot seemed to meander. I had to concentrate to follow and sometimes had to reread passages so it'd stick and it became a chore. Overall I thought it was an ok book but I didn't really like it.
I got this book as an advance uncopyedited edition.
