Segreti, ossa vecchie rimaste sepolte troppo a lungo, una storia straziante, ma quando si parla della IIWW e di quello che e' successo, e' fin troppo facile cadere nel patetico...e invece la Lackberg non cade nella trappola, creando un intreccio bello e capace di prendere il lettore.A parte la mostruosa quantita' di donne incinte e bambini che popolano il romanzo (ma in Svezia fanno tutti 5 figlioli per volta?) e due descrizioni di parti molto realistiche (detto da un'ostetrica che di parti letterari ne ha letti tanti, con una quantita' di scemenze da mettersi a piangere ogni volta), una saga familiare mascherata da giallo.Mi e' piaciuto.Spero che nel prossimo romanzo di quest'autrice, comunque, qualcuno scopra l'esistenza dei metodi contraccettivi. This was my first novel by this talented Swedish author, Camilla Lackberg. The story weaves between WWII and present time while trying to solve the murder of a friend of Erica's recently deceased mother. Erica finds a Nazi war medal and her mother's diary and begins to question her mother's early life while Erica's husband, a detective, searches for the murdered friend of Erica's mother. At first the story is a little hard to follow, but everything falls into place and I didn't want to put the book down. The title of the book finally becomes clear when Erica and her husband tie all the knots in this complicated timeline story. There are a lot of secrets that are dug up from the WWII and the past is brought forth into the present. I would recommend this author if you have not yet discovered her writing.
What do You think about Las Huellas Imborrables (2007)?
One of the saddest books I've ever read, and a good mystery/police procedural to boot.

Ponderous. Maybe something is lost in translation?
