The chapter about the Lycée was amazing. Well written as always and the imagery and storytelling was captivating.

The last chapter was very hard to read and understand, the constant change of perspective and time was hard to follow but it was also very beautiful and well written

amazing. M. Bernard may be the best father figure character i’ve ever seen written. This past chapter was a masterclass on character writing

chapter was good but the grandmother is annoying

amazing. The section of exposition for the mother and the bomb scene were excellent

So good, the story telling of Jacques’ childhood was so vivid and beautiful
