Dolce e simpatico in alcuni punti, e scorrevole anche nelle parti più 'filosofiche'. Del tutto inaspettato il finale. Nel complesso una lettura piacevole, anche se non condivido la tesi secondo la quale una persona che nasce in una determinata classe sociale non possa aspirare a qualcosa di più senza pagarne le conseguenze.

If you belong to a book group, this is the book for you. My group talked about this book for hours before we turned to other topics. And I hope they'll forgive me for describing phenomenology as "educated navel gazing." Completely engrossing slice of two intersecting lives in one apartment building in Paris.
