rimturseNothing particularly interesting has happened since my last post, so I'll fill this space with another raving review of Gaetan Soucy.
The little girl who was too fond of matches made a lasting impression on me. So when C asked for books that would challenge him, I gave him Atonement. C read it on our trip to Denmark - then pestered me to read it as soon as possible because he wanted to discuss it. So I spent Sunday morning doing so. Atonement didn't leave me emotionally ravaged like The little girl who was too fond of matches. But it did twist my brain cells. So much, in fact, that I have decided to read it again and I suspect C will too. In the two books I've read by him, Gaetan Soucy buries a gem-stone of human deeds and emotions, and lets his reader excavate it, wipe away the last specks of dust and find himself faced with the truth. I would like to elaborate, but that would ruin the books for those who'll want to read them. :)
