Ca faisait un bail que je n'avais pas lu une pièce de théâtre. On reste dans une configuration classique.
Mais quelle poésie, quel parcours. On est époustouflé à la fin de la lecture. J'ai vu ces gens. J'ai vu leurs peines et j'ai compris.
C'est une belle oeuvre facile à lire sur l'exil, la guerre et les crimes qui se perpétuent à ces moments là.
Merci pour ce beau texte, j'ai hâte de voir la pièce de théâtre sur Youtube.

i had to read this book for school (i will forever thank my french teacher for it) and i wasnt expecting anything from it but wow. It might be one of the best book ive ever read. Technically its a play not a boon but whatever. The story is mysterious and moving. Theres a weird dark atmosphere surrounding the story and i couldnt understand why until the end. The plot is simple: Jeanne and Simon are twins, their mom just died. While opening her will, they’re told that she wants them to find their brother and their dad. The story is basically the quest of the twins trying to find the truth about their mom, theire family and even themselves.
The book is easy to read cause it keeps you entertained.
I also think its important to read this type of stories cause it takes its inspiration from real life event (here, the Lebanese war). I would say its an hard read because of the violence of certain bits but its true to what happened irl, its authentic.
If i could rate this book higher, i would.
