I love this novel. A small village´s everyday rotine becomes a masterpiece. In a fantastic realism style of writing, Dorit leads us to a realm of senses. Some moments in the book are hylarious or impossible, but what really makes this book bewitching is the melting pot of tastes, flavours and colours.
