I am not sure how many books I have read by Hermann Hesse, five or six maybe.

Rosshalde is the story of a famous artist whose marriage is holding on by a thread, that thread being his young son. That's all I am going to say about the plot of the story.

I liked the book well enough, I just wish Hesse had made the story a bit longer. No matter how many books I have read by Hesse, or how long they are, I feel like he never quite finishes his story. He leaves me a little disappointed.

No one writes as beautifully as Hesse. Every word is a brushstroke, every sentence a melody.
