Normally I'm not a fan of this type of formatting (large blocks of text with very few paragraph breaks); though thankfully, in this case, the chapters are quite short. I liked the themes shared by the three parts that focused on well-depicted facets of claustrophobia, of being hemmed in/locked in Lucija's car accident, to Dorian and Irene's expectations of society. Each person embodies a certain aspect of being "trapped", alongside their relationships with each other and society as a whole. The author set out to show how society's voices and judging eyes causes strain on each individual and how many grin and bear it and in this instance, the multigenerational harm these pressures have on men and women. Well done novel and to the point without overstaying its welcome.

promišljen i dotjeran tekst, gust i zahtjevan - ukoliko želiš doprijeti do dubina koje ivana bodrožić nudi. likovi su svevremenski u svojim dramama i problemima, bilo mlad ili star, muško ili žensko, otvoren ili zatvoren, homo ili hetero (ili trans), građanin ili seljak, desničar ili ljevičar. na koncu, svi nailazimo na probleme prilagodbe društvu i obitelji, na procjenu i kritiku i odbacivanja od istih. još jedna od onih knjiga koje su nevesele, neradosne, nosi realno nasilje -i fizičko i emocionalno - i začuđenost nad zlom ljudskog bića.
