I haven't thought of buying it in French, to be honest

Have you read it in French?
I really wish I had enough ability with another language (German, Spanish or French, really) to be able to read in the original. I don't have the time or energy to learn at the moment either. I envy you people with your multilingualism.
Er. Yes.
Thanks for sharing your review.

Although I'm (just) capable of doing so, I suppose.
I disagree, as I believe the quote highlights the narrative tension quite nicely, but it might be because I had over twenty pages before then to get used to the prose and its rhythms.

It might just be the translation, but I really don't like the style of writing in that quote.

I agree with Rebekah and Camilla. There's something really unsettling about French-to-English.

It's supposed to sound detached here

Perhaps, but it applies equally to virtually all translations I've read.
