Our Opinion:

 

This book is very interesting, because the relationship between Sidda and Vivi and between the Ya-Yas is described quite well.

When you start to read the book, you can’t put it away.

The book is at times both funny and sad, just like real life.

 

Fabienne, why do you find this book interesting?

 

“For me it’s interesting to see how a very strong relationship can break up and after some time can get mended again. As I began to read the book, the first page was so funny that I couldn’t put it away. I really had to go on reading. This is also the page which you will find under “Extract”.

 

Simona, which scenes do you think are sad, and which are especially funny for you?

 

“The funny things in this book are what the Ya-Yas are like, the way they speak to each other, how they help people, how they live and the things they do.

The sad things especially happen in the family of Sidda and Vivi. For example, the childhood of Vivi was difficult because her mother didn’t love her. As a result of their sad old story, Vivi and Sidda don’t get on well and Vivi doesn’t know how to handle her child.

I can really recommend this book…”
