A stream-of-consciousness story of a poverty-stricken young American, living in Paris.
Diese Rezension fasst es sehr gut zusammen, besser als ich es hätte erklären können: literaturzeitschrift.de/book-review/wendekreis-des-krebses/
A stream-of-consciousness story of a poverty-stricken young American, living in Paris.
Dieses Buch ist anders als ich erwartet hatte. Es ist ein Kind seiner Zeit und manches würde man so heute nicht mehr schreiben. Aber es ist sehr gut geschrieben, wenn auch in derben Worten. Ein Kultur- und Sitten-Gemälde aus dem Paris der 30er Jahre, wie ein Blick unter eine unerwartet dünne Zivilisationsdecke. Welche Intention der Autor hatte, und ob er durch seine teils autobiografischen Schilderungen sympathisch rüberkommt, steht auf einem anderen Blatt.

A stream-of-consciousness story of a poverty-stricken young American, living in Paris.
Dieses Buch ist… sagen wir mal so: interessant. Ein bisschen sexistisch, ein bisschen eklig – erotisch? Naja, Geschmackssache… Dass es damals skandalös war, leuchtet mir ein, mich schockiert es heute weniger. Aber die Erzählweise als stream of consciousness und die teilweise doch irgendwie poetische Sprache gefällt mir. Hätte es deswegen lieber im Original gelesen, gab’s aber nicht in der Stadtbücherei, und kaufen wollte ich es nicht. Mal sehen, wie es noch wird, bisher suche ich noch nach einem Handlungsfaden, ich glaube aber langsam, der ist gar nicht gewollt.
A farm girl needs to go to #Paris to help at a patisserie workshop, and we do not only get to know the protagonist and her love interest: Caplin also lovingly presents the group of people who take part in the workshop and I really liked them!
Reading this novel is especially nice if you know your French patisserie.
In this novel, Julie Caplin explores the topic of families and independence. The protagonist is the youngest of four children and wants to find her own way. I couldn't help but feel that the person the author had in mind was much younger than the protagonist, who is supposed to be in her early thirties.
The novel is the third part of Julie Caplin's Romantic-Escapes-series, but it can be read independently - none of the characters of the first two novels appear.
