Short and sweet which improves this rating. I liked hearing about the polio epidemic because I hadn't realized the scope of it. The identity of the nemesis changes through out the story, so that is interesting to follow. The characters are believable and make the love story engaging. It is too bad that Roth has declared that he is done with fiction for the remainder of his life - he is so good at it.

Hat mir meine Oma empfohlen und geliehen.
Vieles hat mir nicht gefallen. Aber das Thema ist gut aufbereitet. Zum Ende gibt’s eine ganz interessante Theologie Debatte (hiob-mäßig).
