I think we do not present this story that is well known to the general public. This is the moving story of a young girl who discovers and forgets the difficulties of his life in Indochina in the arms of an older man. My review is going to focus on writing. The style is very poetic, the author attempting to describe emotions, significant moments of life, without trying to propose something completely chronological nor to follow the established rules of what is supposed to be a prose "correct". She writes as she feels as she remembers. Often she even writes like the girl she was perceived things. It's different and interesting to read, it is carried in the head of the author, in his memory, but personally if certain passages have talked a lot about me I found other relatively airtight. What is certain is that this is a style that really can not please everyone. However, even if I was not taken to every moment of my reading, I still enjoyed the book as a whole, for the emotion that emerges from the story and the uniqueness of writing.
