Je n’ai pas aimé, mais je n’ai pas détesté non plus. Chaque mot était choisi judicieusement, mais chaque section était trop petite pour me permettre de me plonger complètement dans les évènements.

J’ai beaucoup aimé ce témoignage, si déconnecté de ma réalité! On abordait avec tellement de dynamisme et de douceur des événements tragiques que ça en était déroutant!

Around the World: Quebec/Vietnam

Mixed. This book is structured as a series of interconnected prose poems. Some of the segments are really astonishing, while others fall a bit flat. I was especially moved by the passages about motherhood and the way in which a mother cannot choose to stop loving her child, even if she wishes to.

Me gusta especialmente el estilo de escritura, el argumento no es tan relevante. Creo que este y otros libros de la autora son de estos que hay que releer de vez en cuando para ver en qué te fijas en cada relectura.

i love the voice of this author, the way that she weaves stories together. although by the end i would be hard pressed to tell you what this book was about.
