Le roman le plus longue que j'ai lu en francais mais aussi le livre le plus puissant. Ce livre est fantastique!

I have no qualms with the book. The writing was fine the characters were complicated (which I enjoy) nothing much really happens. I wish I knew what happened to the parents afterward or what happens at the trial and what sentence she got (or if she even woke up)

Après un premier chapitre qui tape fort, une étude de personnages nuancée qui prend son temps sans occulter le drame vers lequel on sait qu'on s'avance. J'ai trouvé la plume de Leïla Slimani intéressante et me suis volontiers laissée happer par le texte, même sans éprouver de grande sympathie pour les personnages. Cela m'a donné envie de lire davantage de romans francophones récents !

Gostei do livro, principalmente da escrita da Leïla Slimani. Esperava mais do final, sinto que ficou a faltar alguma coisa. Tirando isso, fiquei com curiosidade de ler mais coisas da autora.

Said everything step by step instead of letting the audience experience it or figure it out for themselves.
