Très dur de rentrer dans ce roman, lent, où l’on s’attache peu aux personnages et notamment Hélène qui reste un vrai mystère pour moi même après 5h de lecture. L’histoire est lente et plutôt commune pour l’époque dans laquelle elle se déroule, mais je tiens à saluer son originalité sur certains points comme la relation Martha-Hélène ou Carl-Hélène. Je trouve cependant dommage que l’héroïne ne semble pas avoir de pensées sur ce qu’elle fait, on ignore complètement ce qui se passe dans sa tête, ce qui fait que les autres personnages passent un peu au second plan - car Hélène n’en pense rien.
Beaucoup de longueurs dans le texte qui font que, malgré une belle plume, je ne mets que 7/10
