Lahko kar neham brati druge knjige, gospa pisateljica je tako visoko postavila lestvico. Super mešanica steklenih stropov, filozofije in Lepega.
On glass ceilings, philosophy (of Beautiful). The writer set the bar so high that after I read this book it's hard to find something as satisfying as this book.
