Astrid and Veronika
Linda Olsson
This is a novel about a friendship between two women, one a recently bereaved writer who has come back to Sweden from New Zealand after the loss of her fiance, and the other a reclusive older woman who has been living with her own painful secrets and loss.
I enjoyed this, but it seemed, to me, pretty typical women's fiction fare. There's absolutely nothing wrong with women's fiction. I read it and enjoy it, but it seems to me to be a glutted market, and to really appeal to me, a women's fiction book needs to stand out from the rest. This one just didn't, IMO.
To sum up, it was a decent book, but nothing to get excited about.
