From the Ho Chi Minh French library, I borrowed “L’île des gauchers” – which in English would make “The island if the left-handed” – by French writer Alexandre Jardin. I do not know if this novel is goor or not ; I haven’t read it yet.
Whenever I pick-up a book at the library, one of the first page I read is the handwritten list of subscribers who read it already. The computerization of libraries force the lists to end around 2004, but still, it is nice to see how many times the book was picked up.
In this particular book, the second page caught my intention because it contains a personal note.
Ha quel chemin difficile mais la finalité est belle.
A mon p’tit Didou,
Tendrement,
Valé
