C'est intéressant de voir comment un bouquin à l'écriture quand même un peu imbitable (vers, vieux françois, tournures tarabiscotées, théâtre) transmet malgré tout parfaitement au lecteur l'ambiance, les enjeux, les émotions, l'intrigue qui se noue. D'autant plus que je ne suis pas une grande amatrice de théâtre lu! Ça demande tout de même un peu de concentration, hein, soyons claire, ce n'est pas exactement une lecture détente pour la plage. De toutes façons c'est pas la saison.
Alors pourquoi 3 étoiles "seulement", me direz-vous? Hé bien je reste une pas bien grande amatrice de théâtre lu, et puis c'est du drame, du vrai, rien de bien joyeux, pas une lecture que j'aurais envie de conseiller à un.e ami.e pour se détendre, quoi.

Junie - Absente de la cour, je n'ai pas dû penser, Seigneur, qu'en l'art de feindre il fallût m'exercer.

Et BIM!
Sacré Racine.

Very fast paced. It felt easier to read than Phèdre or Bérénice but I don't know if it's because i'm getting used to reading Racine or because it is easier to read than other.

Opinions and rating may change, as this is the subject of one of my exam projects this semester and I will be working quite intensely with it in the coming weeks.
