I don't read Dutch but Google Translate tells me you enjoyed the book far more than I did: it just didn't quite come together for me, as a novel, so I stopped reading after about 40 percent. I don't know how to explain my dissatisfaction and indifference, particularly because I recently lent the book to a friend so don't have my notes. <br /><br />I can say, though, that I found the writing cloying (a bit too cozy and obvious?) and often felt Katishonok didn't use all those wonderful details, vignettes, and characters you mentioned as deeply as she might have. Then again, I had high expectations after hearing and reading so many good things about the novel. In any case, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Lisa C.
