free and proud of her beauty, daughter indifferent mother to her child and mistress of a married man cleared more her age, Anais is a woman who retreats into denial, nonchalantly through the second half of the twentieth century. Melancholy and bittersweet feelings drift polyphonic punctuate this narrative in which the voices of the characters gradually bring us closer to heroin. Buoyed by writing a rare sensitivity, Anais is a harrowing novel of initiation and cruel.
This book reads like a nothing, his writing is chiseled and precise. The author, whose first novel here, chose to speak several narrators to introduce ourselves Anais, as if he finally does not really put forward as its heroin throughout his life is not highlighted, but instead has his loves you, desires to be loved by everyone she loved. She will abandon it for his son, born when what was very young.
If history does not in itself a vital interest, it is nevertheless moving to Anaïs who sacrifices himself each time to keep with her, except that a little bit, the man she loves without getting back the love and presence as desired.
men she has rubbed her life, one really cares about her, but it is already too late. Others have enjoyed it, but probably loved in their own way, without ever giving up nothing, or for others with cowardice and cynicism and more.
I warmly thank Bob and editions Editor for allowing me to read this book.
