eavans 's review for:

Nives by Sacha Naspini
3.5

*3.5

”I would've cut my veins to wake up in the morning, find you in my bed, and say, 'Good morning, my love.' But no. For you, I was a pastime." 

Books like this keep me sane. I really thought I was getting a story about a woman and her disabled chicken, but instead got handed a fable of two former lovers on an extended phone call over four decades after the affair. I think we all have people that we can imagine in that scenario—Reading about women able to stand up for themselves (and then navigate relationships) with the people that have hurt them makes me feel good. I love Nives.
