nyam és perfecte està magníficament escrit tot quadra i quina satisfacció. cada capítol el narra un personatge des d’un lloc i un moment temproal diferent però zero confús, m’ha encantat quan al llarg del capítol vas descobrint qui és, la relaxió que té amb la història i el moment. l’he gaudit molt i m’ha semblat espectacular com escriu, m’atreveixo a dir que és el que més m’ha agradat de la maggie fins ara. a veure els altres <3

A good story, but the non-linear style, jumping through time and place, about drove me crazy trying to keep up.

The complexity of love and identity are at the forefront of this Maggie O’Farrell novel. Long buried secrets upend a family with more than their fair share of mysteries in the closet. Finely rendered characters who are believably complicated, sometimes courageous and often foolish. Told from varying viewpoints, each narrative adds insight to history of this particular family which is so unique in structure yet whose peculiarities do not insulate them from the universality of heartbreak and grief. Excellent writing finely crafted.
