I enjoyed this but found it a bit slow and difficult to get into. Enjoyed the second half more than the first.

Violette est la gardienne du cimetière. On assiste au flashback pour comprendre comment elle s'est rendu à faire ce travail peu commun. On aborde sa relation avec son mari, son enfant, les gens qui viennent se recueillir auprès de leur défunt, etc. On aborde plusieurs sujets sensibles, la mort (bien entendu) et le deuil, l'adultère, les relations toxiques, etc. Quelques personnages sont complexes, et pas tout à fait comme on les a étiquetés. J'ai trouvé l'écriture incroyable même si les dialogues étaient parfois un peu fade. Les chapitres étaient courts ce qui faisait en sorte que j'étais incapable de déposer le livre. J'ai beaucoup aimé les citations en tête de chapitre. Au final, un livre très émouvant, lire ici que j'ai pleuré.

brogan7's review against another edition

TW TW TW Misogyny and internalized misogyny and rape fantasies and I wish I had stopped reading when the first jarring change of POV happened, but I kept reading and eventually it all got worse and I am so disappointed.
