When I take the book in my hands, I have trouble remembering what it was all about. I remember it is about a woman who decides to become vegetarian, but not for the usual moral or taste factors, but as the result of a dream. I remember the story was told by the different perspectives of the husband, the brother-in-law, her sister. I remember it is about sexuality, dreams and madness. Now I remember it's also about rebellion, societal rejection, generational conflict and violence.
Even if I remember that I liked reading it, and even recommended it to my wife, I have a hard time describing the novel in more detail. Maybe it's my memory, maybe it's because the novel is less memorable than other novels.
Still, the human pain is the feeling I get from the book, in all its complexity and sadness.
