A review by theliteraryteapot

Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.
This book has several ingredients that are appealing to me: Icelandic culture, exploring mother/daughter relationship, being a writer. And yet, this is a dnf not even halfway through. I really don't like the writing style. It feels overwritten (was using five synonyms to avoid repeating the word 'dog' in the span of 10 lines really necessary?), although it may be due to an awkward translation. I completely lost track of the timeline (going back and forth between the past and present). Mostly, I found the story boring. And there are too many other books to read, so many I'm quite excited for. Maybe I'll try this book again much later in my life.
