As a matter of fact,this is not a very interesting book for all readers.(pig tale would be an entertaining one).On account of the fact that in this story,lengthy part was utililised by the author to portray the transformation of the mind of the wife whose husband has been missing. At the very beginning,she's so extremely worried about her husband.But then she became anguished,disgruntled,and even had some visions not real after she realised she can't find out where her husband is.As everyone knows,it's more unbearable to us to be abandonned by our close relatives than to know they were dead,and this reflects the reality too.To be honest,you may get bored by reading this story.However,great chance upon us contemplating the purpose of our existence.

Is this a brilliant work of fiction or 150 pages of gibberish? This little book can be a tough read. Is it because of its French origin and something is lost in the translation (the French are so different from us), or is it because as a man reading it I missed the point of the female writers nuances? I have not decided yet. From the description on the cover I was expecting the story of a desparate search for a missing person. But the action (if you could call it action) takes place in the narrators fractured mind, and half way through the book you begin to question if there ever was a husband. Maybe a second reading would bring more insight into the character. If you are looking for a book with a good plot, action, dialogue and character development, look elsewhere.
