My review contains zero spoilers.


We meet Bergljot and her family in the midst of their drama, this time concerning their inheritance after their parents Inga and Bjørnar. On the outside, it might seem like the drama is all about the inheritance and their share, but it's about much more - it's about abuse and the different childhood the siblings had. There are mentions of incest and sexual abuse, so check the trigger warnings before reading.

I rated it 4 stars. All in all; I liked it. It explores grief and how people experience it in different ways, especially when you have unresolved trauma relating to the dead person. The bond between siblings and parents are well done, and the cycle of grief was phenomonal. There isn't a plot, just a minor one, and the focus is on the characters- specifically Bergljot and her relationships. 

Unfortunatly it felt dragged out. There were chapters that felt too repetetive, considering this book is 350 pages. Since there are so many different 'POVs' that show how the trauma affects Bergljot (and the whole family) in her everyday life, some of the chapters felt unnecessary. The way the book was written was not to my taste, but it didn't affect my experience with the book too much.

I would recommend it if you're interested in this kind of book, or if you just want to read something different.
