[read in the German translation by Ursel Allenstein]
I really appreciated this book. It's very philosophical, more of a character study of all the complicated aspects of a family than about the plot. It was fascinating to see how the different characters viewed themselves, their relatives and the same conversations. It really shows how egocentric all humans are.
What I did not like was the way direct speech was conveyed. I find this style of integrating it into the text without marking it somehow very confusing.
