Adding this book to my list of all-time-favourites. It has everything - hard relationships, trauma, loneliness, friendship, frustration. The issues the characters are dealing with are very relatable.

Love it. The story is smooth, the characters are well thought out, and the dialogue feels very real. Indeed a joy to read.
BTHW, there is a mistake in Goodreads' description: paragraph #3 says:
"Carrie returns from Austria at the end of an ill-fated affair with a married man to find her mother and aunt sharing a home and squabbling endlessly."
The truth is: Nicole is not Carrie's aunt; she's her older sister.

My assumption about the simplicity of the dialogues and insufficient character development at the very beginning of the book proved completely wrong for the rest of the novel. I guess the author was adding complexity gradually to make sure the reader wasn't overwhelmed. I can only say bravo to that. Really enjoying reading it.

Ok, the narrative got much better. A very educational and touching story about the hardships of the Jewish population really caught my attention.

Dinamiškas, įtraukiantis, bet lengvai suprantamas siužetas.

Some unnaturally simplistic communication between characters at the very beginning of the book. Seems like this is a great dive into the history of Paris, with some storylines to make it at least a little more fun to read. Not much in terms of some serious character development so far.

Кількість одруковок дуже заважає зосередитися над сюжетом. У видавництва взагалі редактори є?
Мова дуже проста, діалоги примітивні, сюжет ніби з пальця висмоктується і дуже передбачуваний. Важко взагалі повірити, що писала доросла людина.
