This would've been a DNF but I promised the person that gave it to me that I would finish it (It took me over a year) Swedish dad Alex & Jewish mom Suzette and their child Hanna. She's a high IQ brat that refuses to speak and is daddy's girl and wants to get rid of mommy. Suzette has Krohn's disease and is an artist but is afraid of her child. She should be because Hanna is devious and wants to kill mommy to have daddy all to herself and tries numerous ways to do it Too many words and phrases in Swedish that I had to look up and far fetched reaching for story lines (Hanna channels a witch and can speak perfect French and at the end also Swedish & English). Hanna is in and out of schools for "troubled" kids where she inflicts pain on other kids, barks at teachers, & generally causes mayhem so she can be at home with daddy. Just ugh and the ending was thrown together to I guess write a sequel? Not worth the time
This book has gotten a lot of rave reviews. I read the whole book, much to my dismay. I didn't like it in the beginning, grew to like it and didn't like the ending. The ending left you hanging, open for a sequel. The girl in this this book, Hannah, is a spoiled rotten evil child. There is nothing to like about her or her parents for that matter. I am sorry that I read the book to the end.
