Fettfleck

Content Note: child abuse, suicide, (critical treatment of) fatmisia

Plot:
The girl comes from a rich, educated family, but unfortunately that doesn’t mean that much since she is also fat and her parents aren’t all that interested in her, especially since showing her off doesn’t work that well. The other children around her aren’t much kinder, so she grows up very much alone.

Fettfleck is a slim book, but one that carries quite a punch. Even more so because the protagonist here is not just some poor victim. She is an acerbic observer with a resistant streak, an unwillingness to be broken by her shitty surroundings.
