Besson, Philippe: Lie With Me

Gutes Buch

What a book, oh man.I have to say that I found the writing style tiring from time to time. All the switching between the plot and memories or future memories often pulled me out and took the "pleasure" out of it. It then felt more like a lecture from a dull professor.The emotions, however, were incredibly well conveyed and when the actual feelings and events in the now or those concerning the protagonists were illuminated, I got lost in and between the lines. I cried and my heart and throat tightened.This short book left me sad and desperate and longing and somehow also looking towards the sun and the sunrise.Somehow it ignites love and hope in me. Courage.The will to show myself, not to hide.It hurts and warms; I want to press it to my chest and inhale deeply.Thank you.
