Deeply disturbing. I felt so much disgust and negativity towards Paul and Paul-like men.
I did wonder how much more Frances could take. It might have been worthwhile exploring her past in more detail. We never get to understand the roots of her passivity and her mental health struggles. As the reader, you were expected to accept this as is.
As a francophone, it was easy to imagine the people and landscapes described. I guess, however, that the 'coquine' reveal never was one.
Beautiful descriptions of place and nature.
