Hausfrau is my favourite book from 2015 so far, and I do agree that the ending is haunting! It is as if it cannot get worse and somehow in Hausfrau it still does!

I find that fascinating sometimes, but also difficult like you said!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717144177751870507.post-14773751014343910202015-04-02T21:25:39.977-05:002015-04-02T21:25:39.977-05:00Perhaps Anna is this generations Madame Bovary.......Perhaps Anna is this generations Madame Bovary.....What do you think Sue?<br /><br />JoMy Grama's Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114089036939629527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717144177751870507.post-53966815597668795442015-04-02T07:22:12.312-05:002015-04-02T07:22:12.312-05:00It is definitely a hard book to get through, but w...It is definitely a hard book to get through, but worthy of discussion. So many layers to it! I like to read books that shake me out of my usual reading pattern and this one did that for sure.Sue G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796747936772028681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717144177751870507.post-35816706604126611442015-04-01T12:58:29.416-05:002015-04-01T12:58:29.416-05:00Hmm, I haven't read this novel yet...
