A fragmented, stream of consciousness-style story about eight people with various problems of their own get together for a vacation. Point of views shift constantly, even between paragraphs, sometimes even including excepts of what people are reading. Sometimes it takes a while to find out in whose head you are at the moment. Everyone is their own complicated, normal-but-complex individual. I found it interesting to jump from head to head, getting immersed in everyones own, specific point of view and seeing what's on their minds. The main storyline is almost non-existent, or at the very least irrelevant. it's about thoughts and emotions, experiences and significant banalities. If you can get along with the experimental writing style, it's surely worth a read. It's very different from "Incident of the dog in the night-time" though. Do not expect a similar read or you'll be very disappointed.
