Grosse surprise et coup de cœur. J'ai débuté ma lecture sans trop savoir à quoi m'attendre et j'ai été transportée dans un récit fantastique et onirique. Les nombreux mystères rendent la lecture addictive et l'introspection du personnage principal est très touchante. L'histoire nous questionne aussi sur notre identité, voire nos identités, mais aussi nos passions, nos raisons de vivre et nos relations aux autres.
Une lecture très douce et poétique.

A bit redundant at times and couldn’t get fully into this book but def an interesting premise!

A book that wriggles around your heart and squeezes. The sense of place is so settled and wonderfully drawn, and the narrative unspools for the reader at almost the same place as the narrator is unspooling it for himself. It's a magic trick.
