It might have taken forever, but I'm finally done! I just could not get into this book, because Helge is such a black hole, and I didn't find him compelling as a narrator at all. When we started getting the story from Jenny's POV, it definitely picked up. Still, it was a bit too little too late to salvage the novel as a whole.

As far as the actual story, I'm left with the feeling that I wish every man in the world would have just left this poor woman alone. Lordy.
