A good story, but written a too much as a recounting. Would love the narrative to play out through characters, not stories told by them.

My all time favorite stand alone. What a book!!!! At every corner there's a jaw dropping twist. I cried I laughed I went into shock. This is the perfect book to get yourself out of your reading slump. Just amazing!

”böcker är som speglar: i dem ser du vad du redan har inom dig”
det ända som ofta gör mig obekväm med äldre böcker är hur genomträngande sexismen är. den äcklade mig kanske extra mycket här för att typ varenda manliga karaktär på ett eller annat sätt objektifierade kvinnor. vad skildrar författaren egentligen? bara en tid och ett samhälle eller även sin egna kvinnosyn?
