Naming the Bones door Louise Welsh
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.It had been a while since I last read a book in English, and it turned out fine.

The reason why i gave it 3 stars is that i had troubles remebering what i just read and i had to come into the story again. I think the problem is mainly the language barrier… (meer)
