A review by vitsa
Mon cœur à l'étroit by Marie NDiaye
4.0
From the beginning the book was filled with promise.
I quite liked her style of writing, Nadia was an interesting character and of course the great mystery of why everyone had turned against her and her husband was very intriguing.
I enjoyed reading the book, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending. On one hand I can understand why the author ended to book the way she did, it was fitting end to Nadia's journey, but on the other hand it left too many questions unanswered. Some of the more supernatural elements that were introduced towards the end were confusing and not really explained, and more importantly it was very frustrating to come to the end and not find an answer to the main question of the novel.
