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 !
