katko123 's review for:
The Blue Maiden
by Anna Nóyes
Witches, past, isolated population, a priest and Sweden. Sounds like fun!
Unfortunately I found this book hard to follow and very slow. The story is confusing, because we are given only glimpses into the life of two sisters. It´s like watching polaroid snapshots from somebody's life, you see a person as a child, as a teenager, as a young woman, grown woman , her wedding, her first child and then her own burial, but everything that had happened in between we must guess. In this book it´s similar. Various scenes without clear connection, lots of omission, unspoken and unshown things that have happened and we readers are expected to know is too much for me.
