The Eighth Life by Nino Haratischwili
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I found this book revolting, actually I realised, that it upsets me and makes me angry, so rejecting it was a sort of the last rescue.
I have to give credit to the author for my reaction, it proves some skill, but I found it harmful.
What went wrong?
After reading some 300 pages I found all characters are strongly artificial, exaggerated and put into some extremely cruel circumstances.
Author intertwines the story with relation of some historical events. Again, events are well dramatized, but their connection to the story is very remote.
