Det var boksamtalet med Lina Wolff och Christoffer Carlsson i Lundströms Bokradio som gjorde att jag letade upp den här på Storytel.
En sydamerikansk Parasit . Ur en haves-och-have-nots-synvinkel kan det inte ges ut nog med sådana här skildringar. Det är bara det att jag inte är så intresserad av att läsa om små barn, sorry, inte heller städning, även om det här verket inte skulle existera utan de detaljerna.

I'm trying to read more stories from South America.
This starts slow, ends fast. I liked the ending.
I liked how it was written - meandering but also to the point, lazy rivers all reaching the same sea.
Its a more political version of The House Maid by Frieda McFadden (or whatever that one's called).
I'm not a big fan of "maid" stories, personally - they feel a bit cliché. Horror stories from the day to day.

if i struggle to fall asleep in the future, i will just pick this book up to sleep :D (jk) (not really)
while i understand the narrative/criticism on social class differences, it felt flat. for a short book, it felt too long for my liking. the only reason why i finished this book is because i wanted to know what happened but, still, I was not too fond of the ending. i think if this went in another direction to show the theme, it would have been better.
