Maud Martha. I felt for her so deeply throughout this entire book. I love the idea of an ordinary existence. A quiet life is still a life and thus filled trials and tribulations. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Maud Martha through all the ordinariness she endured. Her internal struggle with comparison and jealousy, her husband, her beautiful daughter. They all felt so real to me. Gwendolyn Brooks has such a wonderful way of writing. It is so evident this was written by a poet and I enjoyed every line.

C'est un livre qui ne me parle pas vraiment, mais l'écriture est excellente et on en sort avec l'impression de connaître le personnage titulaire comme si on avait vécu à ses côtés.

Ce ne sera pas un de mes livres de chevets, ça reste une lecture enrichissante.
