A review by ralu_
Last Words from Montmartre by Qiu Miaojin

4.0

I chose to read the letters as they were presented in the book (so, out of order), and the effect was confusion and fragmentation - the main narrator's identity was ambiguous and some letters had no addressee or signature. This worked really well with the mix of raw emotions and snippets of memories, so I kept oscillating between being heartbroken and infuriated.
