Hanne Ørstaviks bøker er notorisk vanskelig å vurdere, det er et hat-elsk forhold så sterkt som bare hun selv kan beskrive. Akkurat som i denne boken.

Et interessant blikk på et samfunn som eksisterer ved siden av samfunnet, et innsyn i vennskap og verdien av venner og familie.

Kanskje er det mer ekte venner enn de fleste har? Kanskje har og gir de mer omsorg/kjærlighet enn de fleste er villig til å gi og få? Men samtidig er det ingen omsorg/kjærlighet til de utenfor utenforskapet, så finnes den egentlig da?

Each Harry Hole book breaks my heart, but I keep reading every new publishing regardless. It's my most toxic relationship.
