  • "Alone with their bullying father on a vast estate, a sister and brother speak a language and inhabit a universe of their own making. When the old man commits suicide, they are forced into contact with the villagers and their cloak of romance and superstition quickly falls away to reveal shocking truths. Balancing naiveté with carnality, Soucy employs his signature playfulness, plot twists, and fascination with guilt, cruelty, and violence in a narrative tour de force where nothing is quite what it seems."@en

  • "Na de dood van hun godsdienstwaanzinnige vader ontvouwt zich in volle omvang het gruwelijke leed waarvan twee kinderen op een vervallen landgoed het slachtoffer zijn geworden."
  • "Deux enfants pris au dépourvu par la mort de leur seigneur et maître de père, dans un étrange domaine régi par le "code de la bonne maison", se demandent ce qu'ils peuvent bien faire du cadavre et de la vie qui leur reste à vivre hors de sa loi. C'est là un bien étrange roman, le troisième de l'auteur, où à travers une langue somptueuse et travaillée dans son apparent débraillé, un univers mystérieux s'édifie, que le lecteur ne pénétrera jamais complètement, un monde qui participe à la fois du conte fantastique et de la fable philosophique, et qui n'est pas sans faire songer à Ducharme ou à Agota Kristof, ainsi que le signale Stanley Péan. Un livre d'accès difficile, une expérience plutôt qu'un divertissement écrit Pascale Navarro, mais dont l'exceptionnelle qualité s'impose dès la première ligne. [SDM]."
