Painfully real.

The complexity and depth of Lisbeth is painfully real. Larsson intuitively understood the ramifications of sexism, violence, and hatred of powerful and smart women. I identify with her rage and know that Larsson had a depth of compassion for women that is inexplicable. Thank you Stieg, and your love of life Eva, for this gift to us.
