Format:Paperback
Originally appeared in the French weekly magazine "Nouvel Observateur" as a feuilleton after its challenge to Daniel Pennac to give a following to the Mallausène saga. With this novel, Pennac manages to renew himself and delivers a very good piece of work to compare in quality to the first novels in the Mallaussène saga.
The unbelievable shall happen;Thérèse, Malaussène's fortune-teller sister, is getting married. Moreover, the chosen one is not of the taste of Mallaussène: Mr Marie-Colbert is an eminent graduate from the "École Nationale d'Administration", élite of the Republic!
Are Malaussène's bad feeling about Thérèse's lover to be trusted or is is just normal jealousy from an overprotective brother?
A galloping story full of wit and humour.
Format:Paperback
I can see why this is a hit in France, this series by Daniel Pennac is funny and clever and a bit surreal in places! The characterisation is superb. I am reading them out of sync but that's ok. They are a great, fun read.
