There's a great deal to like about this well-written layered story of generations of people in France and their lives and their secrets, but there were also some plot and character choices I really didn't dig.

Il faut écouter dans l’urgence parce que le silence n’est jamais loin.
Cet livre est wild. Un peu bizarre, parfois un peu déroutant. Mais il m’a toujours tenu investi. L’histoire d’Hélène m’a captivé dès le début c’était comme si elle était ma propre grande-mère.
Je n’ai pas aimé Justine. Je veux pas dire que je la détestais, c’est juste que je l’ai trouvée parfois irritante. Genre, tout ce truc avec elle et l’homme dont le prénom elle a même pas pris le temps d’apprendre. Quel malheur.
