seedwa 's review for:

The Door by Magda Szabó
2.0
dark reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Started off incredibly strong, has to be one of the best opening chapters to any book I’ve read. Was great for the first third, but the metaphors became repetitive over the course of the book and it stagnated down into loose and meaningless abstractions. 

Translation work is incredible.
