This is not a common novel! It is primarily a novel of characters around the pain of losing a child. Built on the mode of the alternating points of view (quite popular in the English novel of characters), it is often more faults, injuries and the demons of the characters who are portrayed that their very personality. What makes absolutely irresistible and breathless reading. The soul is probed in the manner of an archaeologist, layer after layer. Great! I read it in one go, of course I recommend without reservations!
