A quietly enchanting novel with writing that is simultaneously understated & sublime. It's a brief glimpse into the diverse lives of various characters living in a Parisian apartment block. Tackles big issues - loss & grief, isolation of early motherhood/PND/PNP, rise of far right in France, radicalization but it's never heavy or preachy. The characters are so real, so genuine that it feels like a privilege to witness the events herein.
