4.0

An extreamly raw and bare bones-type book that shows the effect of industrialization. the books aswell as the author's other books are fantastic in showing inner strugles, bad habbits and the induvualistic level/personal want of escaping your cuernt situation. I definitley recomend this books for annyone who likes biography's and philosofy and to also read it in your native lanugage to really make the story a little more personal to read.

4.0

This is autobiographical fiction. Set in France. 
There were parts that were hard to read as the reality of class and family dysfunction sets the scene for narrow-mindedness and being more concerned with being “normal” than being curious about and loving your child. It feels like there’s a long way to go for self-acceptance along with the heartbreaking realisation that acceptance from the family (due to societal expectations/perceived standards) will not happen. It scratches the surface of class issues and lack of resources, i.e. opportunities and education, to show and embrace inclusivity. It’s well worth a read imo.
