Nevertheless it is the same style that goes everywhere in the previous books.
Of course moving stories but why not say it: there is a real convenience to tell the suffering and misfortune, the last 30 pages are melodramatic, dripping and frankly quite unbearable. In addition, there are as usual at Carrère, this amazing navel gazing and even the joy of telling when it itself was déguelasse: eg during the episode tsunami, Carrère is happy to tell us that jealous of his wife help a couple whose daughter died ...
As for the episode of Sri Lanka, it is unclear what he got to do.
In short, if you like Carrere will like. But if that's the best book of the year ?! It must be possible to have more depth.
