I read this book in one sip. And it made me only eager to read the four others. The writing style is so fluid and natural that it actually enhances the sensations felt throughout the book. I definitely recommend it!

C’est le jour où j’ai voulu découvrir des romans québécois écrits par des personnes non-blanches que j’ai fait la connaissance de ce roman. Shimazaki, née au Japon, vit à Montréal depuis 1991 et la plupart de ses romans mettent en scène des personnages japonais. Tsubaki, le premier tome de la série Le poids des secrets (ce que j’ai appris lors de ma lecture), est l’un de ses romans les plus connus, alors… un bon endroit où commencer.
