A Parisian
woman takes some time to tend to her family—her grandfather was dying. Throughout
the book, we get the views of various characters (Lennart, Lisbeth, Guillame.) They were a few too many characters, but they’re
all kind of connected to each other. It only became really interesting when the
mystery was brought to light.
“Her name
was Saga. She isn’t buried anywhere. She disappeared. She was declared dead,
but her body was never found.” (28)
Then the
questions came. How did she disappear? Was it an accident? A kidnapping? She
just left and never returned?
The pace is
kind of slow, but the mystery on Saga was certainly titillating. Story then plays
back the narrative of the time of Saga. In
fact, the story constantly shifts between past and present. I was really more
interested in the mystery, which is sort of layered in between the mourning and
reminiscent period of this family. Little by little, the mystery began to
unveil with the backstory and the constant dialogue.
A decent
read.
My rating: 3 stars
