رواية جميلة .. فكرتها جميلة وتنفع ان تتحول الى فيلم ولكن نهايتها وبعض احداثها افتقدت الأثارة الحقيقة
كان من الممكن ان تجعل مشهد المطاردة اكثر
وان يكون هنالك قتال بين الممرضة والعجوز
و ان يكون هنالك تعذيب واظني افتقدت القصة الى عنصر رابع ووهو وجود حبيب للمرضة يأتي لينقذها ثم يحدث قتال بينه وبين العجوز الى اخره من احداث

J'ai beaucoup aimé et j'ai du mal à comprendre exactement pourquoi. Nothomb a un univers vraiment particulier, sombre et envoûtant dans lequel les personnages sont totalement ravagés mdr

I'm feeling too lazy to write in french- this little book was an interesting reflection (haha) on all the meanings and symbols of mercury, as well as narcissism/society's obsession with beauty, greed, different kinds of prisons, the difference between maturity and one's actual age and other nuances.
It's interesting how the books that Hazel and Françoise talked about should have been a means for the two of them to communicate secretly (especially given the reference to the charterhouse of Parma), but in the end, they served another purpose. Do I really want to believe that the captain loved her enough to bring in a messenger that would do the job in a way that would push Hazel to insanity or suicide? can someone evil enough to keep someone in a gilded cage also be kind enough to delicately release her? As if to satisfy these questions, in my version of the book, the author proposes a second ending- but that's after a rather satisfying ending already so I found that frustrating and to me, the second ending is not in line with what know about Françoise.
I would definitely read this again.
