Ingrid Hoeben Ⓥ 🇧🇪Blijft een machtig en intrigerend boek. Misschien eens opnieuw lezen. Donna Tartt beschrijft de lotgevallen van een groep studenten die door haar eigen morele hoogmoed ten val komt.

KaiThe Little Friend is among the best books I've ever read. A thrilling childhood adventure story vastly enriched by a keen sense for the frightening potential of social realities. There are moments of blood-pumping terror, but it's also full of hilarious conversations and the most whimsical characters. Some later episodes are heartbreaking. Don't be fooled by people saying it was a just looong series of vastly unconnected vignettes.<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6531971073" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6531971073</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/donnatartt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#donnatartt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/literaryfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#literaryfiction</a>

This is supposedly the best example. Magic really isn’t part of it.This book isn’t for me.
