Mysterious and beautiful. Slow pace that fits the reflecting nature of the book. Wonderful story about human relationships and grief.

Ik had er meer van verwacht.

3.5/5, prachtig geschreven en voorgelezen. Een mysterieus boek die niet voor iedereen is, maar zeker de tijd waard is voor mensen die op zoek zijn naar een slow-burn en een emotioneel boek. Zelf vond ik het een beetje een anticlimax, maar dat is vooral omdat ik meer horrorelementen verwacht had. Zoals ik al zei, dit boek is erg emotioneel en gaat erg diep in op de relatie van de twee hoofdpersonen.

This was not what I’d expected. It’s definitely not a horror book but literary fiction and as such I would have preferred to have read it myself instead of listening to it. It’s a slow burn and the narration made it often quite boring. May read it again in the future but in physical format.

If you don’t like open endings and questions that do not get answered, this book is not for you. It’s sad, about grief, at times nauseatingly tense, slow but also captivating. Don’t know if I would recommend. The narrator has a beautiful voice and style of speaking, very nice accent. Loved the queer representation!!!

I am confused

Prachtig verhaal en goed voorgelezen.

This story goes deep, with many layers like the ocean. Modern and not cliché, though for a moment you might have thought this was a diluted le Guin it prooves itself worth your attention as a superior examination of grief and loss by brave women - more I can't say without spoilers. Be inspired to live in the moment as you enjoy this book like a mystery novel.

I thought this was going to be a spooky book but twasna. I wouldn’t necessarily classify it as boring but that was the closest to what it was. I wasn’t convinced by it, felt no connection to the characters, expected more.
