Again, a touching relationship

Novel Title: Diary of a Bad Year (2008) By J. M. Coetzee
Score: 8/10

An old writer is commissioned to write his strong opinions for a book. He asks the young pretty woman upstairs to edit his text. A subtle love triangle ensues. Each page of the novel is divided in 3 parts: the opinion, writer's POV, and the girl's POV. As the story develops it becomes more engaging. The old man's otherwise soulless and rigid opinions become softened by girl's influence. Refreshing narrative style. Few opinions less interesting. Recommendable. The girl's last pages are touching.
