It is still worse than the "black Nympheas" that was my first reading Bussi (not the musician!) And I loved it. Here the feeling is more mixed in particular with regard to the end (which is the main ingredient guessed there a long time) that falls like a hair in the soup. Just after the episode of the ring Lilly why she began she does? The style of narration is interesting against sometimes we fall into a certain vulgarity that there was not in the Waterlilies. That said it's still a good idea and a good story but it's still a bit disappointed: I wonder if I will spend the 3rd book from this author ....
