Godt skrevet og gjenkjennbart om det å være oppslukt av en person man ikke kan nå, men stakk ikke like dypt som andre bøker av Vigdis Hjorth for meg.

This book had a lot of beautiful parts. What got in the way for me was the length of some of the sentences and the length of the book in general. It’s quite repetitive, particularly in the first half. The layout was cool - there were pages with only one or two sentences on which I thought would make it a quicker read, but some of the sentences were so long it was hard to understand and therefore made it drag. It really felt like a 400+ page book even though it came in at 341 pages. 

It’s a book of small happenings and I think it would have been twice as powerful if it had been cut down so that you really get the core scenes, rather than having to wade through all the ‘filler’ to get to those parts.

I cried. I liked Will and Testament, but with this one, I really get the hype. A book all daughters and mothers should read.

È stato un libro difficile, la tematica mi ha risuonato e in alcuni punti ho creduto di non riuscire a terminare di leggerlo.
Purtroppo poi l’autrice si è un po’ persa dando dei comportamenti bizzarri alla protagonista che hanno “distrutto” il clima creato
