One of the last reading of this period. A beautiful book, deep, minimal, sad, but with a happy ending.
The story of a man who has seen his life interrupted the night when her twin brother, died in a car accident. From that moment everything changed, university studies were interrupted and he has remained only life on the farm, under the orders of a father, petty and mean, sometimes very cruel. Life flows, the years go by over and over, crisatallizati in their repetitiveness.
And then one day, Helmer is the first choice of his life and decides to confine ilpadre in a room upstairs and renovate the house. And it is as if a spell had broken and thoughts and feelings to the surface to be revived and analyze. And then of course I'm not saying the rest.
I do say that this book, this story is extremely fascinating. The writing is beautiful, the descriptions of the natural environments are very engaging, and the author tells the story of a man also speaks of her double or better than his other hand, speaks of separation and absence, loneliness and a feeling of incompleteness that accompanies a life. And lets see, however, the possibility of redemption, of a rebirth.
