A first review
After reading some more pages of the novel La Vérité sur l’affaire Harry Quebert (The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair) in French, I'm very pleased. There may be some words I don't know, but there is no need to look them up. I can understand the story very well. And I really like the story so far. Some parts are quite funny!
For example: The protagonist (a novelist) is at home with his mother and tries to overcome his fear of the white page (artist's block). But his mother is contantly talking to him. He is very annoyed and tells her that he need a quiet place to work. Offended, she said: "Es-tu en train d’essayer de dire que la présence de la femme qui t’a donné la vie te dérange ?" I laughed out loud! XD
Seriously, this book is highly recommended!
