This is an interesting
little book, little is an accurate description, not in any way a demeaning
description. Knutsdottir explores the myriad
ways men demean women, intentionally or through cultural indifference. It seems
that Iceland, like many areas in our own nation, has a rather large supply
of misogynists.
The initial chapter is indicative of a possible personality
disorder, but then the book turns into an exploration of the relationship of
two women and their mutual love for a cat.
Not the normal love triangle, but Knutsdottir makes it work.
Both women are deeply embedded in dysfunctional
relationships with male predators. The plot
rapidly devolves into a threatening situation for one of the women. Their solution is creative.
A great deal of this book hit home for me as I have written children’s
books on depression, bullying, and abuse.
You can not research those topics without a measurable impact on your own psyche.
I liked the book. BTW
I also like strong women and am inordinately proud of the fact that my boys and
I have all wed strong women.
I recommend the book.This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases if you click on a purchasing link below.#CommissionsEarned
