Die Geschichte ist nett geschrieben, man kann das Buch einfach so weglesen. Allerdings blieben die Charaktere der Protagonisten für mich die ganze Zeit über oberflächlich, ich konnte keinen Zugang zu ihnen finden. Die förmlichen Anreden von Martha an Mr. Booker verdeutlichen das Machtgefälle und den Altersunterschied. Die Nebenhandlungen drehen sich gefühlt die ganze Zeit im Kreis. Ich hatte nicht so wirklich eine Idee, wo das Buch am Ende hinführen soll. Der Aha-Effekt blieb leider aus.

Meine Erwartungen anhand des Klappentextes wurden nicht erfüllt - enttäuschend, teils gar abstossend und plump. Der letzte Absatz riss jedoch das Ruder herum, faszinierender und unerwartet subtiler Kniff.
