Book review of Tagg i Hjärtat

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book is about Mia Forsman who is writing a play. The play is about Orfeus and Eurydike, two mythical people. Eurydike gets trapped in the underworld by the devil, and Orfeus tries to save her. There are numerous different scenes in the play, and it is partially a musical; there is a lot of singing done by the ensemble. A big group of people help to make the play. The book is about Mia's play that is going to be performed in a new "culture house", but also about her love life with Juan. There is also a side character, Helen, who is mentally ill and has to go to the hospital because she always gets extremely angry about everything. But the book really starts out with Mia's best friend, Lisa, not being able to come to a concert because she is with her new boyfriend. Mia gets mad adn thus writes the play to express her feelings. She feels like Eurydike.

I think that the book is really good and interesting, however a little bit girlish. It's a book that is well thought through by the author and very descriptive as well.
