I hesitated before buying the first volume of this new trilogy in terms of évalations readers. He finally was offered to me for my annivesaire. The story I liked it's true. I wanted to know the outcome of the plot, but I'm a little disappointed ... I think everything is farfetched. Sneak include, Hortense, Gary, Josephine, Zoe, Philip and Alexander ... But one wonders why. Appear new characters: Stella, Leonie, Ray, Tom, Adrian, and others. A dark story battered woman, rape, identity ... I honestly devoured the book, but I still have not understood the connection with Hortense and Gary ... I really want to know the rest of the story of Stella and Leonie, but obviously, it was not until the third volume. As other readers have pointed out before me, Ms. Pancol, do not do some marketing forcing? It's a shame! I'm not sure to rush for volumes 2 and 3 ...
