Ça m’a prit plusieurs mois. Mais j’ai enfin terminé ce roman. Et quel roman… c’est sûrement l’un des meilleur livre que j’ai lu en 2023. J’ai apprécié prendre le temps de le lire et me plonger dedans pendant de longues semaines. 
L’autrice a su garder des intrigues tout au long de l’histoire sans même que le lecteur sache qu’il y avait quelque chose à savoir. L’ambiance du livre nous transporte. 
Il livre dur qui est abordé de la bonne manière et ne tourne pas au malsain.
