May 2014 Debut of the Month.
This is a tough little book. What starts out as a nice story about a sweet woman trying to please her husband and suffering a little from empty nest syndrome in an isolated area in Sweden, turns into a menacing tale of desperation and, in my mind, horror. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a horror story, it is just what the poor girl has gone through that really distressed me. It is creepy and very good indeed. For years her life has been ‘normal’ but now she decides to stop taking the medication. Her memories start flashing before her, and things become very dark.
