I must admit that I was expecting something different and did not enjoy perhaps because of this, the book as much as I should or could have. I was basically blocked by the distance with which the main character told about her life and her mother's life, as well as her death. I was never able to step into her shoes or feel any kind of interest or empathy for her characters. Maybe that was the point, a clinical detachment like that of prostitutes, but I would say that it did not lead me to appreciate the book.

Devo ammettere che mi aspettavo qualcosa di diverso e non ho apprezzato forse per questo, il libro come avrei dovuto o potuto. Mi ha bloccato fondamentalmente la distanza con cui la protagonista raccontava della sua vita e di quella della madre, oltre che della sua morte. Non sono mai riuscita a calarmi nei suoi panni, né a provare qualsiasi tipo di interesse o di empatia per i suoi personaggi. Magari era proprio quello lo scopo, un distacco clinico come quello delle prostitute, ma direi che non mi ha portato ad apprezzare il libro.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.
