Den ble for kaotisk for meg, hit og dit, med dikt og brev og fortid og nåtid, og jeg skjønner ikke helt hvor den vil.

there were parts of this book i could  not understand, but i loved it nonetheless.  poetic and lyrical, it feels like you’re having a stroll down memory lane with your mom and grandmother over a cup of coffee.

I couldn't bare to finish this book. The theme is overdone to death and it isn't portrayed with originality, so I stopped. However, I enjoyed the
language and will definitely read other works by the authoress, as I feel there is more to her than this novel.

3.5 This would have been four stars, but as a lover of pared down writing, this was a little flowery for me. I enjoyed reading about an almost solely female cast however, and all generations were authentically represented. I enjoy Hustvedt’s writing about visual art too, especially as the descriptions don’t come across as pretentiously (to me) as might be expected from some of the wordplay within the writing.
