_pickle_'s review against another edition

An interesting perspective: the decline of a marriage, the crisis about one's identity, and how life might go on after this. The writing is functional if not inclined towards a degree of literary pretension that Kasischke doesn't quite pull off. It really wasn't a thriller, as I was lead to believe it would be.

Mouais, pas vraiment convaincue. L'écriture est top mais l'intrigue, franchement c'est pas le meilleur que j'ai lu de cette auteure loin de là !

This is one of the strangest books I've ever read. It's as if Louise Doughty's 'Apple Tree Yard' and Helen Walsh's 'The Lemon Grove' had a creepy, wayward child. It features themes from both of those books: adultery, revenge, murder, motherhood, ageing, sex. And yet it comes across as more gruesome, uncomfortable, and poorly written than either of them. It's not the worst book I've ever read, it has its good lines, but it certainly pushed the limits of my suspension of disbelief.
