Reviewed by Luisa LepelA masterpiece.
Reviewed by N Nesselmade me think and I had a good time reading but... there are also just a few very strange things and metaphors in the book where I didn't really know where it was supposed to go? I dont know. Four stars are deserved though. I liked the themes of isolation, the human spirit and being born into situations others wouldnt know how to handle. But I also feel like a man could take this book to argue that women have no reason to continue living without men? It might just be me tho, esspecially since that's not at all the message of the book.
Reviewed by MarisaIch hätte vieles erwartet, aber nicht diese Geschichte, die auf so subtile Weise die Menschheit selbst infrage stellt. Die zeitliche Entrücktheit, die Ungewissheit darüber, wann und wo die Handlung eigentlich spielt, verleihen dem Buch eine ganz eigene Atmosphäre. Eine ungewöhnliche, beinahe surreale Lektüre, die sich von vielem abhebt, was man sonst liest und über die ich sicherlich noch länger nachdenken werde.
Reviewed by EmA story about loneliness and death but still immortal hope and the strength of a woman who has never known men.
