A forma como a narrativa mescla momentos intensos, com uma narrativa intimista e que me lembrou Um lugar bem longe daqui, com atmosfera bucólica e melancólica.
Ao se passar em 1 dia, mas a narrativa alterna entre passado e presente, é tão bem desenvolvida, que fica impossível largar, embora seja um calhamaço.
Um recorte de uma vida e das gerações de uma família e os acontecimentos que permeiam e refletem em atitudes, com um Palácio de Papel ao fundo.

Very surprisingly , the main characters experiences with family mirror a lot of mine, right from the grandmother to the mother .
The author , still have a pass more than I think she should have to Elle's mother. She wasn’t a good mother . She was neglectful and selfish and narcissistic. She allowed her men to abuse her daughters emotionally and put her daughters in harms way. It still sounded a bit like her mom was a wonderful person but maybe , true to my life , that next generation will come out even cleaner than Elle and Anna.
I can see how she ended up having an affair. I don’t like it but I see how it happened .
Most definitely this was a difficult read to get through but it was very well wrote.
The only marks I took off were because I often couldn’t keep track of the characters and jumping back and forth was done differently than I had ever read before.

Nope it was definitely not the summer read I was hoping to get. 3 different underage girls are getting rapped. One by her stepdad, other by the brother and main character by her stepbrother. Till the end I don’t understand why she blamed herself what happened with her “DeFiNeTlY not a serial killer” (yes he could be the one) stepbrother.
The real good part of the book was Jonas and Anna. The stories with them were really interesting to read.
But still, be prepared to read a book where in the second chapter a 9 year old girl is forced to give bj her stepdad and where parents don’t see all the abuse that happens.
