The substance, form, everything hangs!

Here is a novel that is fully in his time. Indeed, it addresses issues that are familiar to us and yet some still remain taboo: alcoholism in women, its causes and consequences, painful separation that prevents move on, the non-desire for motherhood, unemployment and the consequences of the lack of activity, the feeling of being useless and become paranoid. All this written in a catchy language, both literary and somewhat familiar, sometimes even rude ... but never vulgar.
But what I liked the most in form is the change of perspective: situations told by two different female characters, one who is the actress and the other simply the spectator.
The characters are endearing; their portraits are prepared significantly, with ultimately little physical details but so much of humanity that you feel throughout the novel to become one of their relatives ....
Frankly, we do not see pass the 380 pages!
