Expecting to find here a slice of life from a Japanese or at most a group of Japanese from their own country, I was a little disconcerted by the collective aspect of the novel. I did not like it at all inventories staked chapters estates Prévert who completed discourage me! I think this is the low number of pages that pushed me to finish the book but beyond 200 pages, I think I would have closed forever ... Too bad because the subject interested me greatly, but I would have liked something more fictionalized ...
