#EuropaEditions are usually hits for me but this one fell short. I also had such high hopes after loving The Postcard by the same author (one of the two). I just couldn‘t get over how selfish the titular character was presented…by her great grandchildren no less! Obsessed with her husband and they‘re both into the art scene around the turn of the century but totally uninterested in their offspring. Lots of name dropping and little parenting.
