Ça m’a prit plusieurs mois. Mais j’ai enfin terminé ce roman. Et quel roman… c’est sûrement l’un des meilleur livre que j’ai lu en 2023. J’ai apprécié prendre le temps de le lire et me plonger dedans pendant de longues semaines. 
L’autrice a su garder des intrigues tout au long de l’histoire sans même que le lecteur sache qu’il y avait quelque chose à savoir. L’ambiance du livre nous transporte. 
Il livre dur qui est abordé de la bonne manière et ne tourne pas au malsain.

Yes this was slow paced but I really appreciate the dark and atmospheric setting Phoebe Wynne did with this story. Love reading about with unlikable characters and they are definitely unlikable ones here. You think you're reading about one thing but completely thrown a curve ball and discover so many hidden themes and meaning thrown in.
