Herman et Dominique by Alexandra Pichard
hopeful
sad
fast-paced
3.5
With my very rusty French, I could probably translate like maybe 20-35% of this book, and the ending left me feeling quite confused. Especially with the funny illustration, I couldn't quite figure out what Dominique was until I got to the last page.
Using Google translate, I translated each page and I understood better but the ending still had me feeling stumped. Did Dominique really write that parting letter? Did Herman find a new companion in her absence? Was she human? And did he reunite with Dominique or was he just reminded of her when he saw the plate in the end?
Quite funny. I'll work on my French then reread this another day. But for now, I'm just happy I could still remember some vocabulary enough to roughly read a book that's fully French.
