Se lee rapidísimo, la lectura es muy amena.
Los primeros cuentos y el ultimo me encantaron, después hay otros con finales que no son tanto de mi gusto.
No suelo preferir los libros de cuentos, pero este fue la excepción.

Neste livro de contos, a autora relata a forma como as mulheres lidam com as vicissitudes dos seus casamentos em variadíssimas situações - umas provocadas pelas posturas dos maridos e outras pela forma como encaram essa mesmas posturas. O que é de salientar em todos os contos é a forma como se retrata a sociedade Macedónia como muito mais retrógrada do que a nossa mas sempre sem apresentar as mulheres como vítimas do quer que seja - apenas aceitando a forma como as coisas são.
Com alguns contos a roçarem a comédia e outros inconsequentes, este é um livro que se lê bem mas denota alguma profundidade.

Some of the most unpleasant protagonists I've read in a while. Very enjoyable, if upsetting read.
