...en såpass fint berättad och viktig historia, med så många trådar och inblickar djupt ner i den urbana verkligheten som ofta både göms och glöms, att jag faktiskt inte kan rättfärdiga mindre än full pott till denna gripande pärla.

Oerhört välberättad historia, en bra skildring av en sida av samhället som ofta glöms undan.
