review 1: It is a cultural shock to read this book because it transports us back to the womb and what it means to us to have a mother, a homeland, a family with its poisonous secrets and its stigmas.. Delphine suffered and has honoured her pain and her family's suffering with dignity and r...

review 1: في البداية أحببت القصة، لكني أخطأت في الحكم، صحيح أن موضوعها رائع لكن أسلوب الكاتبة يتميز بالتفلسف بلا فائدة هي قصة "ماتيلد" عاملة في شركة الإعلانات، كانت الدراع الأيمن لـمديرها اللدي كان يعاملها مند سنوات كشريكة في الـمؤسسة بباريس، لكنه تغير فجأة، أصبح يـمنعا من التدخل في أمور ...

review 1: This short book, originally written in French and translated by George Miller (author of 'Babe') is an emotion-laden coming of age story. It is told by Lou Bertignac, a quirky, lonely 14-year old girl whose advanced IQ has allowed her to skip a few grades. Her class project, inte...

review 1: В началото разказът ми напомняше на "Стъкленият замък", но после се превърна в нещо като "Стъкленият похлупак" на Силвия Плат. Честна и преболедувана, изстрадана история на една дъщеря с трудната ѝ майка. Преплетени са чувства на любов, страх, вина и желание за победа над живота....

review 1: Llegué a este libro un poco debido a un intento mío de, en cierta manera, refrescar literariamente mi vida y decidí buscar algo de nueva literatura o literatura contemporánea, ya que me encontraba inmerso por completo en los grandes libros de los autores ya consagrados por el ...

review 1: Un livre dur, qui n'hésite pas à faire ressortir, souvent crûment, comme sous une lampe d'interrogatoire, ce qu'il y a de plus effrayant dans les chemins obscurs que peut prendre la vie. La maladie mentale, le délire, le suicide, le décès d'enfants, la maltraitance, l'inceste, l'...

review 1: It was a well written book, a good translation form French. The story is about a big and vibrant family that looks like a happy one, while in reality the truth about it is far from what you see. Under the surface of normality, there are sexual abuses, neglect, emotional manipulat...

review 1: a warning for those quickly looking through reviews to decide whether to read this book- it's triggering for a variety of mental disorders- depression, addiction, EDs- and nowhere on the cover, in the blurb or in the intro does it mention this. i'm seeing many positive reviews fo...

review 1: C’était vraiment un livre exceptionnellement émouvant. L’auteur décrit au même temps l’image très réaliste de sa mère et les difficultés qu’elle a eu a raconter ces histoires. Il s'agit de la vie entiere d’une femme a laquelle l’écrivain est indéniablement liée, sa mère et pourta...

review 1: Que dire après cette lecture? Et bien que cette maladie, l'anorexie, est bien loin d'être facile à combattre et à battre d'une part. Ce roman est bouleversant par la spontanéité du récit qui s'en dégage. On peut passer à côté ou être ému, c'est mon cas, par la souffrance psycholo...

review 1: Na "No et moi" van Delphine De Vigan had ik zin om meer van deze auteur te lezen. Mijn tweede boek werd "Les heures souterraines". En De Vigan stelde niet teleur. Integendeel.Zij, Mathilde, een alleenstaande moeder van 40 jaar die haar 3 kinderen alleen opvoedt na de dood van haa...

review 1: Můžu říct, že se mi kniha obsahově nelíbila, ale není to pravda. Nelíbilo se mi to, jak pravdivě nastavuje zneklidňující obraz velkoměsta, společnosti, lidí žijících v moderní uspěchané době a v odcizení, stresu, nepochopení. Dokonalý obraz, jak sám může člověk na své pouti být.....

review 1: It's difficult to describe this book without spoilers but I'll try.I loved it because it doesn't have a happy end. It is written in a very sober, civil language, which is poetic without being pathetic. It captures the emotions and thoughts of two people who have lost their faith ...

review 1: I chose to read this book due to an assignment for English on homelessness. I stumbled along this book and it was perfect because: one, I love France: two, I find the subject of homelessness very interesting. I was really excited to read this book, and I only had little time to d...

review 1: I read a beautiful book last night that paints such a picture of homelessness that I can’t help but be endeared to it. I’m all about the personal stories, and the want or even need to help a single person, and when that help can’t be given, I just die inside. I think that, readin...
