This is a book I certainly would never have bought if I had not fallen on a pocket edition. In short pure chance, and a wonderful chance in my case. Dorrit just turned 50 and arrives at the unit, a luxury resort kind of "young quinquas" now considered useless to society ... At this critical age, when one has no children, every citizen is allowed in this luxury hospice where the bodies will be taken until the final gift to him ... Totally immoral, history is conducted by the author with a master hand! In a literary style very accessible and not stupid however, it makes us follow the daily Dorrit, newly arrived in the unit, and its evolution in a world where every désirdevient a reality but which consideration is cruel. If I do not reveal so far more than what does mean the fourth back cover, I read this novel with great pleasure and in one go as the topic was interesting. On the verge of science fiction novel, the novel raises major problems of society and is as scary fiction novel where birth would be a race against time ... A first exemplary novel! Hats ...
