A gripping exploration of life in poverty on the French countryside, as well as the views and values of the people living in it, through the eyes of a young gay boy, desperate to fit in.

Le sujet du livre est intéressant, c'est un peu le miroir social de la pauvreté et le portrait d'un jeune garçon qui lutte avec son identité, mais c'est vraiment dur à lire (j'ai sauté quelques paragraphes parce que les faits racontés étaient trop insoutenables pour moi => lisez les trigger warning avant de commencer ce livre)
