I read this book the summer after my grandmother died, it helped me. I remember sitting outside reading and beginning to cry, I think it is a very touching book, without being sentimental.

The book adress some very serious themes, but the language remains easy to read. The book asks a lot of questions and doesn't give all the answers, it makes you think and reach your own conclusions.

I have read a lot of Jostein Gaarder's books and generally I like them, and "I et spejl, i en gåde" is definitely one of my favourites.
