4 years later I still remember the absolutely beautiful language of this novel, and am still furious at what he did in the middle. It was so jarring that I couldn't pick up the threads again, and spent the rest of the novel in confusion and even despair, hoping he would at least throw me a bone as to the first part of the novel.

This is a very strange novel, depicting an equally strange familly. I did not liked it very much, but I enjoyed. It is hard for me to point now what exactly attracted me most in this book. I guess that I liked the appearance of life like events, together with the fact that they were quite extraordinary.
My copy of this book is in romanian.
