I didn't realise what I was getting myself into when I decided to read this book over my vacation weeks in the tropics :)) Certainly not a beach book, but I enjoyed it thoroughly, despite not being familiar with who Charlotte was. The format of the prose is quite unique, too.

Yes it’s certainly not a beach book! But I’m so glad you enjoyed it on the beach in any case. Totally unique prose indeed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bianca, so glad to hear

I think it's the opposite of what you said--Foenkinos shows us the irony of Charlotte having left her home for France while her father, stepmother, and lover stayed behind and survived. Your point is obviously pertinent and there are many examples of this, but he's showing us the contrary, and I think he's highly aware of this.

Thanks so much for this - I absolutely take your point! Hope you also found it to be a very powerful book.
