Always glad to be buddy reading French books, because I'm not entirely sure I would if Sil didn't want to do this with me :-)

This was an extremely short and quick read, but there was a big story in there. It deals with depression, with how aristocracy holds up in the modern world and what being noble means. The logic that is used in this is totally warped at times, but I can see how upbringing can do that to a person.

There are a few unanswered questions and the ending was very sudden to me. But all in all, I'll definitely will be reading more by this author.
