Gothic Nirvana! Each novella I read by Nothomb makes my skin go all bumpy. She oozes such beautiful, dark, twisted and elegant writing. This story follows the tragic story of Plectrude, an orphan taken in by her Aunt. The background of this girl is tragic and what happens throughout the story is dee...
Intriguing idea, but poorly executed. Read it until the end but I didn't get that feeling the story is done. And I didn't get the ending either.

So yeah- there's a lot about her relationships with her lovers. And she mixes in recollections of her childhood. It's an easy, fast-p...
Such a generous subject but such a boring book. And now, as some1 around here said, I can reply to: "Have you read Musil's famous ?" with: "No, but I read his very first book.
