"La chambre était vide. Un grand souffle désespéré monta du boulevard et gonfla le rideau.
— À Berlin ! à Berlin ! à Berlin !"

I have never read about a more horrible group of people. Everyone in this book is absolutely despicable.

This was my first read for uni, and I'm very excited about discussing this in class.

Nana is the Holly Golightly of 19th century Paris — but much less likeable and interesting. Quelle bore!
