A review by fredrikamarias
Lyckliga gatan by Liza Marklund
3.0
While I absolutely loved the parallels to the play Et Dukkehjem by Ibsen, one of my favorite pieces of classic Scandinavian literature, as well the epilogue, I found myself somewhat disappointed with this book. I don't quite know how to put it into words, but for me it just wasn't as gripping as Marklund's previous works.
While it had the same pull as Marklund's previous novels about Annika Bengtzon in the sense that I couldn't put it down once I started reading it and while I thought the concept of the plot very interesting, the ending just fell flat for me. It begins quite nicely, but after all of the tensions building up throughout the novel, it wound up leaving me incredibly unsatisfied in the form of a lot of unanswered questions—I kept expecting there to be more.
