India, Sicily, Canada.
Smita, Giulia, Sarah.
Three very different women coming from different background, social class, work, traditions, culture and geography.
Three women following three different paths, each facing some hardships, each taking a life changing decision, each trying to overcome the obstacles that stands in their way.
Three women having little to nothing in common except their perseverance, their tenacity.
Three sections of hair slowly interwoven into one braid: La Tresse feels like a tale that's being told to you, with little to no dialogues, unravelling the similarities and differences between these women, the predicament they're facing, and if/how they decide to confront it.
It also feels like a screenplay of some sort, and that might have to do with the fact that the author, Laetitia Colombani, is a director and a screenwriter. It doesn't take away the fact that I actually enjoy the writing and how it was flowing. I think it fitted the story.
Despite the predictability of the story, it was a touching tale. Even tough what captivated me the most was the journey that they had to take, the ending did felt like everything was moving a bit too fast, after being slow the majority of the book. It felt a bit abrupt. I cared about Smita's and Sarah's stories a little more than Giulia's.
If you're looking for a quick read, with three different point of views, this one might be for you. Overall, I did enjoy reading this book. It was not a mind-blowing read, but it was interesting and touching.
My pick for the Potions class - (E) Book with a cover in your Hogwarts house color
