The 41 poems of the book constitute a whole, connecting three stages in the author\u2019s life: childhood, university years and adult life. A characteristic feature of her poems is narrativity. Eight of the nine poems in the first part are strongly narrative and tell some concrete story from the author\u2019s childhood.
