Esther is ten years old. A little girl with her own issues, problems with her girlfriends, a brother she thinks is idiotic, a lot of space in her heart for her father, and a mother who is a little less present. No real boy stories yet, but they’re coming. It’s lovely to share a child’s vision of everyday life and the world, and to follow her dreams of becoming a dancer and singer. Already read in French, it’s a bit strange to reread it in English.
“When I came out of the bathroom, this is what I said to Eugenie :
– Every time I come to your place, I think “How can they live in such a pigsty ?”.
– Oh yeah ? Well, every time I come to your place I think “How can they live in a place smaller than our toilet”.
That is the worst and most horrible thing anyone has ever said to me.“
