No, I have not felt like this book was revenge against a woman scorned ex-lover. But the story of a very loving, even passionately in love who suffers from the indifference and contempt of his spouse. Point of riotous statements or even hatred in his words. Many questions about how are they got there. The Harlequin side of the book is not very interesting, but we learn a lot of little things, how Holland despises the poor and disabled, his hypocrisy, his lies he handles brilliantly and that seems to be second nature to him . The personality of Segolene Royal, who is the image of what I did before I read this book, contemptuous and capricious. It also falls a little behind the scenes of state dinners, what happens behind the scenes at the Elysée. I do not appreciate VT, already the time when she was still with Holland. I saw her haughty and contemptuous. In this book I discovered a woman just like millions of others, in view of its sensitive man, who seeks to be loved above all.
So to all those who leave negative comments about this story, while they have not even opened the book, read it first, and then judge.
