took me a while to get caught but then couldn't put the book down for days. incredible poetic writing style, loved the meta reflections about the writing process as part of the story. very painfully relatable, heavy and relieving at the same time. left many open thoughts & questions and a lot to untangle.

"Blutbuch" ist eine sehr persönliche Geschichte. Kim schreibt über die Kindheit, das Aufwachsen mit einer Mutter und Großmutter die mal mehr und mal weniger freundlich und offen sind. 
Darauf folgt die Adoleszenz, Zeit des eigenen Findens und Rebellion gegen die Bezugspersonen. 

Besonders interessant fand ich die Stammbäume der Vorfahren der Großmeer. So viele unterschiedliche Frauen und Geschichten und wie sie sich alle durch das Leben geschlagen haben.
