Jezebel by Irène Némirovsky
5.0
Is this my first five-star read for this year?
The writing is slightly annoying and has an over usage of reticences, but the story is very interesting. The main character is addicted to youth and beauty to the point of going crazy and making terrible, cruel decisions. When it comes to Bernard, I wonder if we are supposed to feel sorry for him? Because if that's the case then it was so wrongly done as I despised him with great passion. Older people have all the rights to love and be loved, have sex and do whatever the fuck they please. Although I understand where his hate for this woman is coming from because of what she did to him, I don't like his reasoning and words at all. I find them both to be very similar to each other. I recommend it.
