Very great book. It takes a while to get used to the writing and expression, but then the story grabs you right up to the last sentence.

Insgesamt Enttäuschend.
Teilweise recht schwülstig und interpretativ.
PS.
Warum zitiert er eigentlich dauernd auf Französisch und einmal sogar auf Latein, ohne das es eine Übersetzung gibt.

I really enjoyed the book. It's so well written and the Icelandic translation is a pure joy, even though there were some spelling mistakes not fixed. However, these two women are quite the bitches - can I say that in a review? I did cheer for Maria — how could I not — but sometimes it's really hard to like her. She really was her own worst enemy. Although it seems that the main difference between the cousins was that one of them had really loyal advisors and the other one, well, none really.
