finalmente sono riuscita a trovare tre giorni di relax per dedicarmi a questo secondo romanzo di vikas swarup. rispetto al primo romanzo, le dodici domande, questo mi è sembrato meno profondo, più frammentato, e soprattutto meno originale. un omicidio, sei sospetti, sei storie, sei moventi, sei o...
