Title: Almost a caricature of her earlier writing
Product review: What happened to Landvik's writing? The Tall Pine Polka reads like a caricature of her earlier novels -- also with quirky characters, but who were treated with respect, and whose stories were developed. This novel is shallow, filled with condescendingly clever one-liners, one soap-opera incident after another without much point. I don't know if I would read Landvik again after this.
