[Franco-Belge season continues]
Finally got round to reading this - a mere 20 years too late. Lively, thoughtful and full of character. The album's a clever device for exploring the family's stories, and I have to confess I spent a lot of time trying to determine who each was based on. Several I *think* I could recognise (I'm thinking of the son who invents a new language, randomly adding ge- to French words, playing out the Vlaams-Wallon divide at every turn). But I could be wrong. Plenty of echoes of things I'd heard (though I thought I had the monopoly on kibbutzniks! Clearly not.). Bravo / kol haKavod.
