Pas mal, mais je ne le recommanderais pas chaleureusement... on a de la peine à s'accrocher aux personnages, certains moments clé de l'histoire sont à peine survolés... c'est probablement le style qui veut ça ! ( )

És un llibre amb molta sensibilitat i una descripció molt bona. La narració m'ha impressionat. És el primer cop que llegeixo alguna cosa d'en Quignard però no serà la última ( )
