Mycket mörkare berättelse än jag trodde innan jag påbörjade läsningen. Trots det mycket vackert skriven och utan att man som läsare uppfattar boken som alltför tung.

Jag klarar inte av den här sortens extrema levnadsöden, det blir löjligt - att författaren fejkade sanningshalten är av mindre betydelse. Boken är i sig själv inte läsvärd. Sann eller ej.
