Emelie skulle være 30, året 1998, men det føles mere som 20 og 1898 så hjælpeløs hun er...God fortæller.

Historien fra 1940’erne er SÅ spændende og velskrevet. Og lige som man troede man havde gættet plottet, ændrer det sig. Derfor 4 ⭐️. Historien i nutiden er nemlig ikke nær så fængende og uforudsigelig. Kun de sidste mysterier i de sidste kapitler havde jeg ikke forudset.

Bogen består af to historier. Den nutidige starter på en måde så man godt kan få tanken om det er værd at fortsætte, men slutter spændende, den fortidige er spændende og rørende. Jeg føler mig beriget af denne fortælling.Universet er hyggeligt og den nutidige hovedperson udvikler sig (heldigvis).Oplæseren er helt vidunderlig!Lille trigger warning: der er en scene (i fortiden) med en voldtægt. Den er så lidt beskrevet som muligt, men man er alligevel ikke i tvivl om hvad han gør ved hende.
