Customer Review

That's what first struck me in this novel: it is well written and well translated by a very nice pen to read.
This is the story of a thwarted love between two women in the 60's, from 1961 to 1964, so before sexual liberation. The narrator, Billie, tells the story 50 years later, when she crosses the country to see the son of the woman, Eva, whom she had loved so much. Why does he want to see her after all these years? This is the main suspense of the novel.
Therefore alternates chapters between the two eras.
Throughout the history of both heroin, 60 one discovers as a rigid time or the woman had her place at home, in the service of man who had power over her. A time when differences in sexual orientation were treated as shameful diseases.
The subject is well treated. The love story could have been that between a man and a woman just the same as it is the feelings that are put forward. One can not help but understand and sympathize.
The first half of the novel is read in one sitting. The second is more laborious, the most oppressive narration with still the idea of ​​an imminent tragedy. It is ultimately less tragic we might have thought, unless it is worse ... It is a matter of perspective.
In short, this is a very good novel that reads quickly and is more loose, holding in suspense and surprises nonetheless. And above all, a beautiful pen.
Note: contains explicit scenes.
