A review by daphnejameshuff
Un long dimanche de fiançailles by Sébastien Japrisot

I read this a while ago (in French), but I remember it being confusing at first because of all the names and dates. I had seen the movie first several times and loved it (not as much as Amelie, but same director, same crazy feel), so I managed to follow along pretty well. I was disappointed I didn't understand it better at first, but I suppose I should read more French novels and not just the newspaper . . .
