En vaan tajunnu miten sitä kissaa pitäis tulkita... mutta etenkin loppua kohden aloin tykkäämään tästä.

Wow, this was an experience! Best book I've read this year (and I read about 20 so far). The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is this duality of stories. I've found it a tad distracting.

This novel tells the story of an immigrant family from the Balkans and, despite being from that part of Europe myself, I learned a lot about Albanian and Kosovar society.

This was such an unusual and compelling book, so impressed!
