Totally agree with the previous comment. I started the book and could not stop. The writing is lively and funny. Neither the author nor the character, which often are one, not feel sorry. This is an original book that brings a real look and important questions about a family situation, divorce, which many know. The fact that some things are probably autobiographical rather strengthens credit and the strength of the book. Some passages are of a rare strength: the evening when the boy realizes that his father will go, walk in the garrigue, the journey with the stepfather ... Other funny enough: the whole passage in the hotel for example. In short I highly recommend this author and preparing to read his first novel with joy.
