Fixed Ideas by Eline Lund Fjæren

 Read this in one sitting on the train - and half the time felt like I should close it so no-one read over my shoulder oops. I love a weird relationship dynamic - especially when you finally get a glimpse into a woman's mind and discover she's completely unhinged (think a certain hunger, my year of rest and relaxation).
Found the translation lovely and smooth, excellent balance of subtle imagery followed by upfront crude imagery. Also really got across that feeling of listlessness and repetition in each of their lives.
Wouldn't go so far as to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was certainly weird and intriguing!
