The Stranger by Max Frei

I saw a new book at the library, which was the second in a series by Max Frei, so I hunted down the first book, The Stranger, and thought I'd add another good author to my list of those I follow. Unfortunately, I couldn't get more than about twenty pages into it before giving up.

It could have been that something was lost in translation, but I found it difficult to engage with the characters or what little amount of plot was in evidence. It was all just a little too vague and frivolous and dreamy for me.

Ah, well.
