Definitely one for the long winter nights. Reviewed by Trish Hare. The plot involves a weak, insecure woman psychiatrist, a bald, fat FBI man, and the perpetrator, Max. His alter egos are graphically described in violent rape scenes. The only commonality between the victims is that they have strawberry blonde hair.
Some chapters are like psychological textbook works, while others are puerile and childish.
This book feels as if it has reversed the roles of other popular books, and used them out of context. When the sequel comes, I don't want to read it. Encouraged by an uncle who had emigrated, they travel under appalling conditions to an untamed land. Living in poverty and with broken promises from the Government, they battle to come to terms with life, and try to build a life. Many people of Norwegian ancestry today trace their roots to this robust and strong family.
