A review by mikaiten
Hausfrau by Jill Alexander Essbaum

4.0

Considering that I never read books like this, I have to admit that I really enjoyed this one. The pace was good, the characters believeable, and the style of writing was different from most family drama style books.

My reason for the 3 star review is that it's still very much a typical Scandinavian style book (see Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), where too much detail is given for the most inconsiquential things. I can imagine a bench, a train, a tree... I don't need to read what this particular bench, train, or tree looks like unless it's going to be the most important part of the book.
