J'ai été vraiment déçue de la négligence de certains détails. Pourquoi la fusillade ? Pourquoi l'enfant va-t-il en enfer et pas au paradis ?

Je n'ai pas non plus apprécié le fait que les personnages se résument à deux trois caractéristiques et c'est tout. Garibaldo = homme qui tient un café
Grace = Prostitué
Profesore = homme excentrique

Je trouve ça vraiment dommage parce que le résumé m'avait donné envie, mais mes attentes n'ont pas été remplies.

A heart-breaking story on loss, grief and death from different perspectives. Gaudé has a very original vision on the land of the dead. I would advise the reader to be in a very good mental state before diving into this book.
