Slices of life, an array of characters, their dreams, their disappointments, the omnipresent light in this book of Nathacha Appanah which enters the soul of the characters she always described with subtlety and lightness, with humility and delicacy; His writing is fluid, light, precise and history leads us in a whirlwind of emotions, the desire to turn each page to get to the extreme .... Nathacha Appanah happens again to us back brilliantly in history and makes us want to go through with reading, not without some trepidation! This new work (this fifth novel) makes us rediscover this remarkable novelist who for the last brother, his penultimate novel awarded many honors and translated into 16 languages, had left us waiting for a new novel; It's done! Notice talent, to discover or re discover!
