I love how complex and humaine this is at the same time. The author has a great ability to describe multifactorial themes with an understandable, enjoyable and beautiful flow. The writing (and Finnish translation) is beautiful and painting. I loved the diverse characters and multiple timelines - and even tho the intertwining storylines were predictable, they were written in a way that feels really rewarding. I wish that Konstances storyline and why things were like they were was explained, thats the little minus. Beautiful book!
