Title: A female Salinger?
Product review: This is a bunch of short stories sold as a novel. I useually hate short stories. If it is a great story, I would like to have more, if it lousy, why should I even read it? This is a lot of great stories, with a tender, witty, even funny tone sometimes. They are full of emotional insight, as J.D.Salingers books were and with the same kind of interesting and lovable character (s) in it. This book has nothing to do with Bridget Jones books, and is probably not a good book for the person who only takes time to reads on vacations twice a year.This is a book about real people, with fragments of Jane Rosenals life, glimpses of what is and what could have been and of a very charmy, very beautiful person who I would have loved to meet (and who I have realise now, I have already meet a few times!). If you are a reader and like writers like Salinger, Barbara Trapido, Gontsjarev, Tagaki, Murakami etc, then this may be the book for you also. Its more a four and half star than a four.
