Title: peculiar translation.
Review: This book started out with a great idea, but fails to build on it. The lead character comes across as hopelessly passive, and there is too much suffocating atmosphere and too little movement.Apart from that, the translation from French is very peculiar. The author writes sentences like: 'the wind blew through the trees like a woman holding her skirts over an airvent' and 'the woman wore her cheekbones like other women wore high heels'. Not grammatically wrong, but it makes it hard to take the author seriously.
