I admittedly gave up on the penultimate and final stories, the first 6 stories I think are really interesting, in fact the first 4 I read with the intention of adapting into a theatre piece and they’ve lingered in my brain since reading them. The final stories are set in 1800s France and have no connection to the first stories. Frankly I found them a bore and gave up The Street of the First Lady a couple pages in. I didn’t get round to Rue Barree.
If the collection ended on Demoiselle D’ys id give this a 4 or 5 but the final stories bring it down.
