2,5 ¿? buenu… m’ha agradat però no hi he acabat de connectar. és tot massa fosc i fred i el que m’ha sapigut més greu és que no arribes a conèixer la protagonista més enllà de saber que pateix una depressió. ja entenc que aquest era el punt de la novel.la, només cal llegir el títol, però la veritat esperava una mica més de context i no tanta desesperació. tot i que entenc que no és el que buscava l’autora. m’ha recordat molt a “Les cares” de Tove Ditlevsen, que també se situa en un context psiquiàtric i son molt breus. bueno, no massa més a dir, però això sí, ara vull aprendre turc.

mira que em feia il.lusió, i la llibretera de Shakespeare&Company em va dir que li havia encantat.
i per cert, fins aquí la meva marató de llegir en anglès, almenys per ara.

The writing is nice, but it never gripped me. So could be reader error.
