With Buckshot, Eric Fottorino delivers a remarkable novel about lemprise in the couple. How lun faults, lack of love inherited from childhood, his abandonic character, they make him the ideal prey? How sat the executioner his strength on the weaknesses of the other? What outcome for the victim? The analysis of the characters is psychological dune surgical accuracy. Scalpel its magnificent pen, the author dissects the soul of the protagonists and gives us a captivating plot, overwhelming, uplifting.
