De Gales Hus
And then there is the staff. The cook, the gardener and most important of all, Stetson who wears a cowboy hat and tries so hard to reach through to Hajna. Karin Fossum is a brilliant writer of mystery novels, and certainly puts this at play in this novel. "Staffen", or the staff is hard working and nice, but there are certain mysteries there that surprised me. I was very unsure of reading this book, but as I am working through my personal library, I chose this, and my stars, it was beautiful.
In the movie Hajna is called Aina, and certain things are cut out, but it's a good movie. But the book is a much better read, to be honest.
The better book of the two, by Karin, that I've read. Definitely want to ready at least one more of her novels after a little pause.
Literally fucked up my brain - but I love it to pieces. The best book I've read by Karin Fossum.
Do not waste your time reading this sorry excuse of a book!!!!!! You should rather go and wash the dishes, or even worse, eat dog poop. It would be much more rewarding. Just saying!
En ja hoor, 's avonds kon ik niet wachten om naar de slaapkamer te gaan om daar nog minimaal een half uur te lezen in Het Huis der Dwazen. Ook al is Fossum gekend om haar thrillers, in dit boek schetst ze het verhaal van Hajna die opgenomen is in een psychiatrische instelling. Het is verbijsterend hoe Fossum in het hoofd van Hajna kan kruipen zonder zwaarmoedig te zijn of ook maar pogingen te doen om de beweegredenen of de wereld van de psychiatrie te begrijpen. Ik vond het een boek met
Jostain syystä Fossumin nimi yhdistyy mielessäni dekkareihin ja olin tosi yllättynyt, että tämä olikin jotain ihan muuta. Kirjan kuvaama ympäristö on aiemmilta työvuosilta kovinkin tuttu, joten siltä osin tämä ei paljon uutta antanut. Hyvin realistisen oloinen kuvaus mielisairaalayhteisöstä joka tapauksessa, lukukokemuksena vähän tumma ja raskaskin.
A beautiful and accurate rendition of how staying at a Psych ward in Norway is. I recently watched the movie, which can't even measure up to the written work. Hajnas description of the characters don't seem unreal, but like the kind of people you would meet at a psych ward.

A beautiful and accurate rendition of how staying at a Psych ward in Norway is. I recently watched the movie, which can't even measure up to the written work. Hajnas description of the characters don't seem unreal, but like the kind of people you would meet at a psych ward. I laughed so much reading this book, we have Disco who wants everyone to dance, Tussi (Eeyore) who believes he's contaminated from outer space, Odin which is a millionaire with a wife, a Psychology degree and used to work as a psychiatrist himself, The Storm Centre which is a lesbian with Bipolar, and they all seem so real, the thief who brings Hajna her morning coffee, but expects something in return. And let's not forget about the morphine addicted "Moffa" who roams the streets of Oslo only to be put in the ward again, only to see the woman he loves. And Erkki, who is somehow psychic.And then there is the staff. The cook, the gardener and most important of all, Stetson who wears a cowboy hat and tries so hard to reach through to Hajna.

Psychologische roman. Speciaal. Knap geschreven. Verrassend.The better book of the two, by Karin, that I've read. Definitely want to ready at least one more of her novels after a little pause.
