I haven't read it yet and my cousin didn't tell me anything about it!

I've read it and really liked it, I like everything I've read so far by Amelie Nothomb. She's really unique, she's got a way to play with language and her books always verge on the absurd. So perhaps you could get her another novel by Nothomb?

good idea, thank you! I think my cousin has already read "Metaphysique Des Tubes". What do you think are Nothomb's best books? I'm becoming curios...I'm looking forward reading her book! I'll start it this evening!

I think "Stupeur et Tremblements" is her best one so far, it's sort of a memoir of the time she spent in Japan (but it's her most popular one, so your cousin might have read it already). I also really liked "Antechrista" and "Cosmétique de l'ennemi".

Thank you! I'm sure she haven't read it yet!Absolutely sure!Because when we meet we always tell each other the books we have read and then we lend each other the books.
It will be a great present, thanks for your suggestion!
