Reviewed in Issue 4 of Belletrista: http://www.belletrista.com/2010/issue4/reviews_2.php Execellent book that provides different perspectives on the same events, yet manages to tell a continuous story, without dwelling on one event. Although it's a story of a family, it's actually a narrative of family relations, telling about the fears, alianation and a search for stability on one's own terms that haunts any relationship, but especially those of kin. Great writing style, and a very good way to introduce a culture clearly foreign to the European reader without seeming trite. It gets a bit repeptitive in the end and I wasn't so impressed with the finale. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Petra Hulová became an overnight sensation when All This Belongs to Me was originally published in Czech in 2002, when the author was just twenty three years old. She has since established herself as one of the most exciting young novelists in Europe today. Writings from an Unbound Europeis proud to publish the first translation of her work in English. All This Belongs to Me chronicles the lives of three generations of women in a Mongolian family. Told from the point of view of a mother, three sisters, and the daughter of one of the sisters, this story of secrets and betrayals takes us from the daily rhythms of nomadic life on the steppe to the harsh realities of urban alcoholism and prostitution in the capital, Ulaanbaatar. All This Belongs to Me is a sweeping family saga that showcases Hulová's genius. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The first half of the book is told from one sister's perspective and then pieces (sometimes missing pieces) are told from other women's perspectives. This was so powerful to see unfold--the damage done by without intention, the missed opportunities to connect and understand.
I thought the book cold use a bit more editing and the addition of a glossary for the Mongolian terms would have been helpful.
Highly recommended and good book club selection IMO. ( )
