Title : Italian Shoes
Author : Henning Mankell
This book is basically about a guy who messed up.
He hated his family because he had bad memories of a dysfunctional family, and the resentment from it I guess brought him to the path he led after.
He left his girlfriend just because he felt like it.
He amputated the wrong arm of a patient eventhough he knew he had to check beforehand for any problems.
He left his job and became a hermit on an island he inherited from his grandparents. Everything was fine until one day his girlfriend came back after 44 years, with news that shattered him.
He had to deal with her illness and impending death. He had to accept his daughter that he never knew he had. he had to face the woman who life was ruined due to his malpractice,
He learnt a lot about life that he had until that fateful day, ignored.
With the help of a gift of Italian shoes that his newfound daughter presented.
Plot was okay-ish but I felt depressed, just as I feel depressed reading other depression novels. But yet the depression level wasn't too bad,
Snow can delight, but also destroy, eh?
Rating : 7/10
