I would recommend reading in one sitting, if possible. The chapters are short and you progress through at a good pace - it helps to link all the characters storylines.

Da jeg startede historien mødte jeg en overfladisk fortælling i højt tempo der fortæller om hovedpersonen Ludos barndom i Portugal og hvordan hun kom til at bo i Angolas hovedstad sammen med sin søster og svoger. Men efter Ludo har muret sig inde i taglejligheden i Luanda, begynder vi kapitel for kapitel at møde ikke kun Ludos ensomme liv i lejligheden, men også andre skæbner på Luandas gader, forstader og i Angolas øde egne. Ind i mellem disse alvidende narrativer høre vi med mellemrum Ludos egen stemme, små uddrag af hendes skriblerier i notesbøger og på lejlighedens nøgne overflader.
Først kan det virke som et stort rod. Nogle historier har tydelige tråde til Ludo, andre virker som taget ud af det blå. Men det giver en næsten sanselig fornemmelse for både Ludos selvisolation og for Angolas nyere historie, og efter hånden som bogen nærmer sig enden dannes et helstøbt billede af en tragisk skæbne, en revolution, imperialismens arv og 28 års ensomhed.
