Delicacy

by David Foenkinos

The book was cut in two by it: the first part, read while François was alive. And at page 321, he was dead. What should she do? Can you keep reading a book interrupted by the death of your husband?

She had the impression of suddenly having become the center of the world, whereas her world no longer existed.

But people who are crying aren’t listened to.

There are incredible people whom we meet at the wrong moment. And there are people who are incredible because we meet them at the right moment.
