This was a very different book for Ms. Hegi. She usually writes about Germany. This book is told through the eyes of a writer as she tries to write a novel amid the intrusions of family. It is comical in places. Frequently her small children are camped outside her door while she attempts to write inside her office. Often the characters get inside her head and argue with her psyche. It can be confusing at times, and after awhile did not keep my interest.
I had a hard time getting into this...the "instrusions" caused between herself the person and herself the writer were too confusing. I stopped reading 30 pages in.
