What then waits, in this unknown stuffy, is equally disconcerting, disturbing, captivating. The house of Alexander, isolated and quiet, imposes his family history and outdated decor, Liese is intimidated or frightened by this Gothic and disturbing decorum, but gives the exchange until the bitter end. If one expected a sulphurous atmosphere, the reader has gone wrong!
This book is confusing, mischievous, cunning, but ... strange bewitching! Yes Yes. The novel, built like a thriller, is a formidable and pernicious psychological tension. Pretense, seduction, desire and role play are the pillars of this intrigue absolutely elusive. It loses its bearings and the narrator itself is completely off the plate! I loved the feeling of reading this, between dizziness, drunkenness and frustration. It changes, and it's not bad.
