Because Venus Crossed an Alpine Violet on the Day that I Was Born by Mona Høvring

emotional reflective fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Despite being a short book, the author manages to explore many themes. The girlies in their 20s with depression would like this book and the self reflection of the main character Ella, who is trying to bond with her sister who is fresh out of the sanitarium. 

I liked this subdued and ethereal novella, made all the better while reading on the train to Bergen, Norway.
