A review by beths0103
Madame Eiffel by Alice Brière-Haquet, Csil

2.0

Really unique, retro illustrations but the reading experience was really strange. This was one of the most unique review copies I've ever received in that it had the English translations pasted over the original French. Translated editions are always tricky because so much I feel gets lost in the original meaning, and this definitely felt like a book where that happened. The rhyming also felt trite and unnecessary. Perhaps it was lovely in French, but in English it felt like an afterthought.
