The incipit is a tribute to the biographic event of Dostoevsky and to Aureliano Buendia from the 100 years of solitude. The book tells about the simple and grotesque life of a diplomatic man, one of the most important of the Belgian society. My first book by Nothomb, the first of a long list. #firstblood #amelienothomb #nothomb
