A review by pattieod
Italian Shoes by Henning Mankell
4.0
Plot: not much
Likable hero: not really
Ends tied up by end of book: only sort of
And yet Mankell is such a good writer that it still holds the interest.
My only complaint is that the first person narrator keeps describing how he "let the dog out" or "let the cat out" and I am distracted, wondering if he's going to let them in again, or leave them out there to freeze (given that some wild animals freeze to death on his cold, northern island).
