This book’s chief merit is that it is set in East Timor. If, like me, you are doing a world books challenge, or if you have a particular interest in that country, that is not inconsequential, because there are very few options. Unfortunately, there’s nothing about its content or style to recommend i...

Un beau parcours, une belle recherche, une introspection et beaucoup de questionnements sur l'amour et nos relations. Un peu dur à aborder au début, le livre devient plus aisé à lire ensuite. Certains passages m'ont touchés, certaines phrases interpellés mais j'ai eu du mal à m'attacher à l'histoire...
