really liked it

This was an extremely difficult book to read but I'm glad I endured to the end. Part of it is stream of consciousness, part from the present day point of view where Mila has ALS, part of it from the past. I didn't like the stream of consciousness sections at all. I'm not very goo at understanding that. The present day was difficult to read because of her bodily reactions to the ALS, so I got most of my enjoyment from the sections on the past. It was not an easy life and she suffered with her husband and soon, along with coloured Agaat who was "adopted" when she thought she was barren. I'm sure I missed so much because of lack of understanding. Don't read it when you're sad.
