readacorn's review against another edition
5.0
Name ist Schicksal. Davon ist Lucette überzeugt, als sie ein Kind erwartet. Diesem Kind soll ein aufregendes Leben vergönnt sein, deshalb entscheidet Lucette sich für die totale Extravaganz, für einen Namen, den sie in einem Lexikon des 19 Jahrhunderts gefunden hat: sie nennt ihr Kind Plectrude.
Dieses Buch hat mich überrascht, zum Lachen gebracht, unterhalten, in Spannung versetzt, verzaubert, berührt, gefesselt, erstaunt und meinen Wortschatz erweitert und das auf 147 Seiten.
Highlight.

Le style et l'écriture ne sont pas déplaisants, mais l'histoire est mal approchée, et j'ai trouvé la fin ridicule. Mais bon.

Interesting thoughts about a mother-daughter relationship and an eating disorder. I truly enjoyed the first two thirds, but the end felt empty, written without a clear idea and did not satisfy me.
I really like Amélie Nothombs writting style and ideas. She has great and unusual ideas, but this is my least favorite book of hers, that i read so far.

It was a fairly strange little book, but I really enjoyed it a lot. I like the author's writing style, although as its a translation maybe I should be wary about being completely certain in case things have been added or lost in the process. The story itself rolled along well, it was almost dreamlike & a little unreal. The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. Whilst it did fit in with the story very well, it seemed far too rushed - almost like the author had got bored with the story & wanted to wrap it up in half a page. It really let the rest of the book down.
