Recensione:
"A brief and gorgeous cry from the soul. Scorning the modern cliché of closure, Christine Orban puts her knee to grief's ugly throat and keeps it there. She makes no apology for her unspeakable sorrow, nor for the feckless, unpredictable sister whom she mourns. It is hard to imagine that the original French - the world's most mellifluous language -- could be any more affecting than this stunning translation."
- Monica Wood, author of Secret Language
“This is a very beautiful book. One reads it with tears in one’s eyes.”
–BERNARD-HENRI LÉVY, author of Who Killed Daniel Pearl?
