I did not know Amélie Nothomb really. Only the image of a woman accidentally saw on television. I had never read any of his novels. And she surprised reading Petronilla. Smooth writing. A true testimony and reasoning. A new word in my vocabulary and appears as Amélie we said in the Great Library, companion means sharing the bread then convigne or convignon would mean sharing the wine, alcohol meaningless. This word should enter the French dictionary. I was captivated by this book in one day tells the story of two completely different people apart to write only link that brings together and champagne. The book drop is all the more tragic and it is really not expect that. A reading lesson for companionship.
