Amuzantă. Înduioșătoare. Tristă. Plină de învățături.

Am rămas cu sufletul greu după ce am terminat de citit cartea. Oscar și Tanti Roz vor rămâne cu mine pentru totdeauna. Din când în când, mă voi întoarce la povestea lor…
Lumea are nevoie de mai multe “Tanti Roz”.

I read this few years ago for school and it was nice even if i didn't like reading back then

C'est en larmes que j'ai refermé ce roman sublime.
Il n'est pas évident que l'on s'attache autant aux personnages, c'est un écrit qui fait tout au plus 115 pages. Mais sincèrement il vaut 1000 fois le détour.

I feel like I was supposed to like this book more than I did. Maybe I'm too late in reading it and it would have impressed me more at a younger age...

It is a sweet story, though, about life and death and how to look at things from an optimistic perspective. I liked the realistic tone of the story - the Lady in Pink represents an anchor to reality where the other people surrounding Oscar are hiding the truth from him, considering him too young to understand. Yet she finds a way of explaining life and death in simple but clear words, encouraging Oscar to live each day intensely.

Each of the twelve days is seen as a decade and Oscar interprets everything that happens through the eyes of a certain age - he falls in love in his "teens", gets married in this 30s, had a mid-life crisis in his 40s and so on, until he finally feels tired of life at "110".

I'm not religious and all the God talk left me unimpressed, but it's still a lovely story with subtle humour and a few life lessons that can benefit people of all ages.

J'ai pensé au début que c'est seulement une petite livre mais j'étais fausse.

C'était la première explication que j'ai compris quant au foi et de plus pourquoi les gens veulent quelqu'un ils peuvent en croire.

Parce que Dieu vive en eux. Il les montre eux-mêmes sans influence.

C'est beau et prometteur. Et très pensive.
