I am a huge fan of Amelie Nothomb but still I have not been conquered by its establishment in 2014 ... She's always so many good words and nice turns of phrase but I find that this novel lacks some substance (a stale champagne?!) ... Finishing the book I even wondered if his thought 2015 would no theme tea! (For those who do not know Amélie Nothomb is a tea drinker during those hours of writing)
