One of my top 5 best reads this year. Beautiful book though the topic is very heartbreaking. A VERY talented author that excels in the skill of getting deep under the skin of her characters and at the same time both subtly showing us and understands the psyke of humans as well as the dynamics of af (dys)functioning family. Also lots of hope and beauty in finding a path through the worst of traumas.I’m begging for more novels from this author in English PLEASE.

The story unfolds slowly and delicately. Beautifully narrated

En vacker berättelse med mycket eftertanke. Underbar berättarröst.

Boring

Erg deprimerend, jammer dat ik altijd een boek uit moet lezen...

I've given up on the English version. The book is brilliant - well-written and interestimg. A great look into family dynamics. The reader, however... That breathy soft soft voice used for all females. It somehow doesn't really suit the book or the characters' emotions. Just my opinion.

Tankevekkende om oppvekst på 60-tallet og foreldrerollen generelt. Spennende familiedrama.

Deeply insightful into family dynamics and the psychological intricacies of how we all try to fit in and live up to our own and others’ expectations.

Wonderful author! Great book

I liked the idea behind the story but the book itself was too long for what was being told
