Anna Gavalda - a vivid example of the writer, whose style is unmistakably recognizable from the very first pages, in any language. Emotional, simple, kind and lively story about ordinary people in ordinary situations. Situations can be sad, complicated, confusing, funny, or unbelievable - just like in life, but that's always good ends all. In this sense, the new novel ...
If you try to retell the story decorously, it turns out that everything revolves around a trip to a family reunion. My brother and his wife I stop her sister, on the road drops into the station even for one sister, after which all go together to the wedding of his relatives. But it is actually happening, of course, is not quite so. Cheerful and a bit careless girl Garans flops in the back seat of a car of his brother Simon and his prim wife, Karina - and immediately gets dressing down. She is late again. In her hands colored cloth, turn out to be a dress, which she did not have time to put. Indian traditional dress - so what? .
Actually, the novel ... And it was a trip - a family reunion, as such, does not care about either the author or the characters themselves. Soon found themselves in a circle of guests, the three of them decide to give up on this terrible event boring Karina and escape to see another of his brother, Vincent, who works at the castle guide. Cheerful family escape, of course, turns into a dizzying adventure.
Gavalda 's Creed is read without difficulty. No compromise with a sense of duty and necessity. If a family celebration and makes horrible to feel depleted doll, if their relationship every moment threatened by scandal, you just need to throw it all and go somewhere where it will be comfortable and well, which will be surrounded by loved ones and will not have anything to portray themselves. And, most attractive, it is always possible, no matter how severe may be the initial conditions. Posed in the title of the proverbial breath of freedom from the obligations and the monotony is always available in any circumstances.
Reading books Gavalda like some kind of spiritual practice: a particular history will be forgotten in two days. And she told not then to surprise and engage the imagination. All of her scenes in one way or another simple and quite predictable in its completion. The effect, which is calculated on the French writer of the book, has long been more therapeutic than a literary. Because it does not matter, as to call these texts and what they amount - almost a hundred pages or the monumental six hundred. All of them, in fact, just another way to recall the freedom of choice, the possibility of any decision about the attainability of harmony. One has only to wish to do.
