En vaan tajunnu miten sitä kissaa pitäis tulkita... mutta etenkin loppua kohden aloin tykkäämään tästä.

Wow, this was an experience! Best book I've read this year (and I read about 20 so far). The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is this duality of stories. I've found it a tad distracting.
This novel tells the story of an immigrant family from the Balkans and, despite being from that part of Europe myself, I learned a lot about Albanian and Kosovar society.
This was such an unusual and compelling book, so impressed!

Such a weird book. It's what I expected from, but never got, from Exit West. [bc:Exit West|30688435|Exit West|Mohsin Hamid|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1477324680l/30688435._SY75_.jpg|51234185] That book didn't do it for me because it felt like it was trying too hard to make an obvious statement. My Cat Yugoslavia promises something similar to Exit West's marketing description, but makes statements that are hidden and emerging and somehow feels like the author isn't trying at all. The prose evoked a consistent theme of loneliness. Statovci writes characters that know who they are and yet are so lost. It's hard to explain why I thought this book was so great except it made me feel all sorts of things when I was reading it.
