Excellente lecture.
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 loved this book! It was a great storyline and script in general. I loved the emotional journey all of the characters went through. It made the book that much better. I read this book for school and I really appreciated it. It was great, definitely recommend for theatre goers who speak french!
