Les Années évoque dans un style limpide le passage du temps et l'impact des changements sociaux sur l'individu. Dans cette « autobiographie impersonnelle », Annie Ernaud s'appuie sur une série chronologique d'images personnelles, tremplins du souvenir, pour restituer la réalité vécue, la spécificité de l'époque de chacune d'entre elles.
Dans cette « coulée suspendue », c'est peut-être l'évocation des repas de famille qui fait de ce livre un chef-d'œuvre – c'est ici que la rumeur du temps se fait la plus convaincante, la plus puissante.

“The Pale Blue Eye” is an outstanding, if flawed, novel that blends historical fiction and mystery.
It's true that the mystery itself is not particularly engaging and it's maybe too easy to predict the outcome. As a consequence, the twists and turns feel rather forced.
So the novel's greatest strength is not its plot but its rich and atmospheric setting, served by an elegant, engaging style, suffused with humour. Some scenes are masterfully written.

I can't say I enjoyed this one. The main mystery is not really interesting and its resolution is weird. Also, the descriptions, even the trivial ones, are sometimes detailed to the point of being annoying.

This epistolary tale describes how ordinary, even liberal-minded people could be swept by nationalistic and fascist fervor in Nazi Germany. The novel is really short and we don't really have time to know the characters enough to believe in them. Still, it is a classic, an early warning cry about the pernicious changes happening in Germany at the time, well worth the read. Oh, and the ending is perfect.

A fun, charming fantasy for young readers. The metaphors and art are a little obvious but the quality of the script and world-building more than makes up for it.
