Un court roman qui décrit, dans une langue caustique à l'apparence naïve et simpliste, les tentatives de plusieurs personnages de continuer à vivre l' "après" de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale en Allemagne. L'auteure partage une perspective singulière, intransigeante et sans compromis, et aborde des sujets profondément humains - culpabilité, désillusion, matérialisme, tous victimes du hasard - et ce redoutable 'poids des choses' que se mesure en sa part de perte, d'espoir et de folie.
Just finished this and wow, what a devastating read.
Maybe the blurb on the cover says it best when it describes The Weight of Things as "A tiny, shattering masterpiece."
Somber and poetic in its simplicity, this book slowly burrowed its way under my skin and then proceeded to break my heart.
One of the most touching books I have read in a while.
