Okay. It's very difficult to talk about this book, because, honestly, I just don't know what can be said about it instead of 'read it '. Might not be your favourite book, might have flaws or whatever, but it's truly one of those that I think cannot be experienced if not by reading it. Schmidt wrote a novel that is so layered and about so many things, that at a certain point - I have to confess -, I, too, didn't know what to think about it. I was a bit lost. But then. Oh well. Then it all makes sense. And then it hits you. And then, after all the things it was about, it becomes about something you didn't see coming. at least I didn't. It is not only a plot twist that made me gasp out loud, shocked. It's a whole turn, it is a new book. And it beats and suffocates you, and seems a bit repetitive but I think it's on purpose, and if you are like me, you'll feel numb for a long time reading it, like the characters, and then, you will be brutally shaken back to life.
Exceed my expectations by far.
