Rezension von Lucie wow. sehr fesselnd, wunderschön geschrieben
Rezension von coffeedate.with.myselfthis really had me hooked. I still don't really know what to think of it (which is a good sign). It's unlike everything I've read before and somehow it was feminist and sexist at the same time.
Rezension von EniEasily the best book I have read 2025. I was captivated by its imaginativeness whilst casually discussing the meaning of life (,mind and body) - as a women, as a person. I loved looking through the narrators eys, her conciousness being so broad and open dispite her caged and controlled upbringing. So fearless, unresentful, intelligent and driven. I felt curiousity, anger, togetherness, sadness, love, loneliness ... it was all there in this vast solitary story.
Rezension von booksxtropes 📚🐭Ein kleines besonderes Buch, anders und nachhallend.
Rezension von ElisaBei der Hauptcharakterin hat mir sehr gut gefallen, wie sie sich von denen unterscheidet, die sich an ihr vorheriges Leben erinnern und welche Stärke ihr ihr Nichtwissen gibt. Trotzdem war mir ihr Leben insgesamt zu sinnlos.
