I really enjoyed this one! Sørine is gifted by the King of Denmark to the psychopathic Tsar, Peter the Great who has an affinity for collecting dwarfs and whatever other "curiosities" his eyes fall upon. Sørine lives her days in a state of perpetual squalor and vulgarity, she is crude, hateful, and self serving and yet I couldn't help but love her.

Sørine is a deformed female dwarf born in 18th century Denmark. This is what she has to say about the birth of a dwarf. She's never at a loss for shocking things to say.

Soerine, a deformed female dwarf from Denmark, is given as a gift to the Russian Tsar, Peter the Great because he is taken by her freakishness and intellect. This is a sneakily complex book which explores a variety of topics, the most prominent being the endurance of the human condition. It is superbly written and is a tough book to put down.
