I usually give up after 50 pages, but there are times when I think I should have persevered.

He seems to have gone off the radar as I don't think anything else has been translated into English and published.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-54524704175496980612013-07-30T09:48:57.771-05:002013-07-30T09:48:57.771-05:00Wow!

While I still don't know what I think about Mankell, I'm intrigued enough after reading A Treacherous Paradise to, I think, pick this one up off my shelf and give it a try.Word Lilyhttp://wordlily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-45504959308875709852013-07-30T02:16:51.791-05:002013-07-30T02:16:51.791-05:00Doesn't sounds like something I'd want to ...Doesn't sounds like something I'd want to read.
