Robbed of my heritage.

I have written about my genealogy before, but something very peculiar has now happened. The mystery surrounding my Italian grandfather has been a strong driving force behind why I started researching in the first place. Therefore, it was so overwhelming and frustrating that my DNA test showed I only had 2.8% Italian ancestry. That’s the alcohol content in a weak lager! How is that even possible i

I really enjoyed this book, even though I struggled a bit with the colloquial language on the Island. But you could see the landscape and the characters in front of you, perhaps it helpeld that I have visited Isle of Skye and many small towns in nort ...more

Det startar med en rejäl transportsträcka och först 50% in i boken börjar en kärlekshistoria som skapar ett visst intresse. Boken bygger på verkliga karaktärer och händelser och jag förstår hur viktigt det har varit att skriva för författaren. Men tr ...more

A wonderful read in my opinion. A life’s story in sparse prose that really grabs you.

A hype is always troubling to handle. On the one hand you get interested in the book beacuse of it, on the other you tend to judge it harsher. This is probably why I'm not as blown away by this book as many others are. It's quite a feat to write an e ...more

Språket och karaktärerna är den stora behållningen i den här boken. Så originellt och skickligt skrivet! Själva deckarhistorierna känns mer konstruerade och ointressanta, men det spelar mindre roll när man har såhär roligt under läsningen.

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of time travelling. This book elegantly manages to handle two timelines and tell a hardboiled tale about a struggling woman. But that’s not why enjoyed this book so much, it’s the way she writes that makes me l ...more

Anders Tempelman and 137 other people liked Helga Martiros's review of The Palm House: "Disappointing. The novel tries very hard to sound intellectual, sophisticated and refined, but for me it lacked real depth or emotional weight. The writing reminded me of James Salter’s in the sense that it focuses heavily on conversations and atmosp" Read more of this review »

I love David Sedaris and this collection lives up to my expectations. At times laugh out loud funny but always entertaining.
