The two languages are close enough that near verbatim translation works fine for most conversation and basic description but as soon as a character has deeper thoughts, especially if expressing those thoughts involves more complex grammar and style, then the result ranges from clunky to indecipherable. There's a note at the end which sounds like the translator keen to tell us something: "She (Tamara Bach) speaks super English and was a huge help to the translator." Hmm.
I feel mean quoting one of less good bits but I want to give an example of the effect I described above and I'm doing the author the favour of assuming it read better than this in the original German:
"HOW IT STARTED maybe can't be said at all after the event, but when - that I do know, because I wondered, because it was just before the holidays."
So, although the nostalgia was fun and the characters of the two non-conforming teens were good company for a few hours, I wanted to like and enjoy this as a novel more than I did.
Warning for repeated discussion of suicide (this is not a spoiler as it happened before the book begins).… (más)
