Dieses ganze kopfgesteuerte Kreisen um sich selbst finde ich furchtbar. Es gibt keine einzige Figur, die nicht essgestört und völlig egozentrisch ist. Im Grunde unterdrückt aber auch er seine Frau, was an vielen Stellen deutlich wird.Allerdings fand ich das Buch dennoch oder vielleicht auch deshalb mühsam und die Personen samt und sonders psychisch äußerst auffällig.
