Je ne peux pas donner une critique honnête et objective de ce livre. Comme toujours, la plume d’Amélie Nothomb et fantastique et sa créativité est impressionnante. Ça ne peut pas être nié. L’histoire elle-même m’a profondément enragée et dégoûtée, ce qui est preuve de mon premier commentaire, mais ça me rend aussi incapable de réellement juger l’œuvre.

“Per abitare in quest’isola bisogna avere qualcosa da nascondere. Sono sicura che il vecchio ha un segreto. Non ho idea di cosa potrebbe essere; a giudicare dalle precauzioni che prende, parrebbe essere una cosa seria”

“gli imbecilli pensano solo a dividere con la massa le loro meraviglie, che è il mezzo più sicuro per perdere il bottino”
