This was an ‘all vibes no plot’ kind of novel that probably would have worked better in print for me than audiobook. However, I did enjoy getting lost in the beautiful imagery, and there was an unexpectedly queer storyline which I also loved! But the rest of it, unfortunately for me, was just pretty words and French nursery rhymes (which were lovely to hear in French) which washed over me leaving me with little grasp of what was actually going on.

For women in translation month I read all WIT books including audio, and this (French-Canadian) and Blue (French, Haiti) were both not quite successful. Perhaps it’s the style, they’re both more books that would benefit from being slowly read with your eyes, maybe underlining as you go. Oh well, it was still pretty.
