Welcome to Litsy!

This book deserves a review even though it creeped me out to no end. Soucy's surreal writing was a breath of fresh air, since reading the same o' mainstream stuff lately. A sister and brother are raised by their eccentric father and grow up locked away, isolated from the world. But this ain't your Flowers in the Attic story. Oh no. Be prepared to at times enjoy Soucy's unique prose and at others, squirm in discomfort. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

OK this book is...weird to say the least. I thought maybe that it was because of the French Canadian translation. But nope, it's Soucy's writing. Haven't decided if I like it yet. Onwards though! 🤔

My current lunch read at the office! #gaetansoucy #spinmastertoys

Current read.

Pick! This book won‘t appeal to everyone - trigger warnings abound (murder, suicide, incest, disturbing scenes), but if you like a demented, twisted tale, give it a go. The language can be challenging but only adds to the atmosphere of the story. And the film premiered at the Toronto Fim Festival this year.

Just discovered this book! And it‘s on sale today (ebook $1.99). Two children venture off the estate they‘ve never left after their father dies. Their language and concepts of the world are completely skewed. The language and characters‘ interpretations of their surroundings are challenging and unusual. Looks good!!

I knew this was a weird book going into it but is it ever! I'm not exactly sure what I think of it yet. I think it is worth a read to see if you love it, hate it or are just dumbfounded like me.

Family dysfunction to the max. After their father commits suicide, siblings raised in total isolation must face past tragedies and interact with the outside world. Bewitching. Lyrical #translation by Sheila Fischman.
