Okay but not as one smiles. Okay but not that it enrages. This cursed family story that continues through the generations touched me and not just because of the good words of the author: it smells lived. And I felt that Vié reports throughout this novel that reads very fast (parent-child relationships, the purpose of life, caregivers, ... all the unspoken which does not puff life but which accumulate). The last part, when we believed / hoped for a new beginning for this woman ... is really poignant. You want to scream at the unfairness of life. 2 comments Why anglicized title to a play 2 balls? and then a feeling of incomprehension overlooked completely erased the role of partner / husband of the narrator (note due to male solidarity?).
