This small, quick and easy to read novel enjoyed it! The characters are endearing, amusing portraits women. It is a beautiful hymn to love and friendship written with great sensitivity. When I chose this novel, I read several reviews saying it was recalling "all that's all" or "Elegance of the Hedgehog". This novel is in my opinion far from equaling the superb book of Muriel Barbery but it is true that it found almost the same atmosphere The downside to the end, surprising and implausible
