In short, I found this happy story of poor kids locked up in an attic and have a hard between the fanatical grandmother and mother resigned. The fact that the story is told by Cathy really brings something. For example, the passage in which the grandmother she requires shaved head would shiver every woman normally consists ... I also like how the behavior of Corinne's mother, is portrayed. Through Cathy's eyes, it really feels away gradually and without much effort abandon his children (the grandmother is a monster, but Corinne's even worse.) Same for the character of Chris: unlike Cathy, one realizes that the way he looks at it is less that of a brother. At the same time, we can not blame them ... Already, the grandmother puts the outset the idea in mind by showing them obsessed with their promiscuity, follows the revelation of family ties between them father and mother (and all Corinne's speech that downplay incest) and then ... Cathy and Chris take on the role of parents for the twins. Not to mention the two teens being held for years in an attic: there is something haywire mind of anyone. The suite is odious (when you see that Corinne is able to make his own children, it's chilling). Nevertheless, as Cathy tells his life, occasionally there are things that come out of drama (as parts of Monopoly, when they decorate the attic). In short, we're really in the story that we follow through Cathy's eyes, as if we were also to us in the damn attic: flippant.Bref is the triumph of money on feelings
What I like: the way in which the author brings the reader into the story, the way things are set up gradually until the consummation of incest ...
What I like least: nothing bah in fact, if not my violent antipathy for Corinne
In brief: A superb novel about incest and abuse. To read
My rating
9/10
