albo slow reading nie jest dla mnie, albo to było po prostu bardzo nudne

Hieno tarinan kuljetus, kielikin sopi jotenkin ajankuvaan, kuten rytmitys.

4.5
Wenn man normalerweise nur sehr Handlungsbasierte, “schnelle” Romane liest/mag, wird einem dieses Buch nicht gefallen. Die “Handlung” findet vielleicht auf den letzten 50 Seiten statt.
Es ist eher wie ein sehr angenehmes, sich langsam bewegendes Porträt des Lebens auf den Inseln, vermischt mit Gedanken zu Religion, Natur und Gemeinschaft. Wenn man mit Ruhe gut auskommt, sollte man das Buch in jedem Fall lesen :)

Hieno ja koskettava saaristolaistarina ja ihmisistä jotka asuvat siellä. Se on upeaa aluetta ja oikein mukava lukea jotain sieltä.

This book bored me to death for the first three quarters then made me cry my eyes out in the last.
What I realised, after crying my eyes out, was that, whilst boring me, it was making me care about the characters without letting me realise it.
It was these very mundanities in the first two to three hundred pages, the milking of cows, the giving of sermons and raising of children, that made the characters so human and relatable, so that, anything that effects them, is going to have a sharp impact. I stuck with them for so long, I felt like I knew them. It made me remember the beauty in subtle storytelling.
