It was a strange book, I didn't know how to describe it. Normally, I get attached to characters in books, but even though there was no character that I could connect with in this book, I loved the book. When I had to put it down, my mind was always on the book. It is very different from the texts we are used to. The author wrote it from beginning to end to criticize. Capitalist order, patriarchal societies, The prices women pay while trying to gain a place in the world of men... It's irony from start to finish, its language is very sharp, its tone is very harsh, but everything it says is true. It is not a warm narrative, but it is a powerful narrative that grips you in a strange way. He did not weigh any of his words, it is very simple and clear. I agree with every line. The author conveyed his thoughts through Brigitte and Paulina, two women, two stories... (Don't forget to make the characters count, too. It is a very powerful text that turns the reader upside down on many issues such as love, marriage, sexuality, and the place of women in society. I admired the author's mind, ideas, and expression. By the way, he won the Nobel Prize in 2004. But it is not such a cute text. It hits people like a slap in the face, and the hardest.
