Naissance d'un pont m'a moins marquée que Réparer les vivants, mais j'y ai retrouvé ce que j'aime : des personnages forts, extraordinaires à proprement parler, décrits merveilleusement bien par l'auteur ; un vrai "sujet" - en l'occurrence ici qui me fascinait déjà, exploré de fond en comble - et un style toujours puissant et vraiment modulé au fil de l'histoire pour y coller au plus près. Je garde surtout en tête le personnage fascinant de Diderot.

The structure and style of this book just did not work for me - the first half was too opaque, the characters instantly forgettable, and the actual bridge-building and the tensions associated with this was lost under inner monologues that were often unconnected. I understand that this was the point of the novel, that coming together of personalities with very different intentions and priorities, in an artificial and temporary environment, but it did not draw together in a way that kept me engaged.
