"I loved it" - Anna Gavalda.

Gavaldy I'ma fan. So far I read all her books (some several times) and I know that I'll read any further, that this author writes and delivers. I love her style, so different from the others, full of deep thoughts, insinuations, the hidden meanings which perfectly reflects the depth of human nature, brilliantly examines human. Gavalda like nobody else is able to show the complexity of our times and at times disastrous perfect in every detail of human nature in a beautiful way describes the conflict of feelings from the hearts of those from the head. Loss, to submit to a man in the fight for his life but opposes the lifting up and pushing forward as soon as we discover in the end what is our purpose and meaning in life ...


Since I made up the French challenge, which theme textbook for the first three months is the love of desire and pleasure went back to the book by Anna Gavaldy "I loved it." Books challenging and not giving answers, but it is to force us to think.




Chloe has just learned that her husband Adrien leaves her and their two daughters and moved to the other end of the world, to another woman. Unprepared for the blow Chloe can not cope with the situation, is lost, can not understand what happened, why their marriage ended in such a way and why Adrien said that she is not worthy of his love.


Chloe the girls: Marion and Lucie is taken away by her father-Pierre for his home in the countryside. Female not fond of his father in law, considers him an old bastard who is not never showing emotions or his wife or his children to destroy their life, deprived of their love and support. The greater surprise when her father in law, when they are no longer safe in his house, opens up before her and says like never before ... Desperate, and unable to see the bright sides of the situation Chloe, Pierre tells not only the story of his life uneasy, but also the story of the only true love, who met him in life and that of cowardice not zawalczyƂ ... Pierre, a true, deep feelings suffered only once in their lifetime, compared to his lover Matilda Chloe tries to realize that what happened in her life is not something worst. Although more difficult, and how unhappy you can live without love in conjunction with no heat, trust, desire and faith in each other. Pierre, who was at zdradzanej cowardice before his wife, for example, wants to show his life Chloe, as they sometimes do not take risks can equally destroy the life which its decisions. How is that her husband is with his wife and children is not always a good choice. As he says, sometimes massive, short, suffering is better than a little suffering for life ...


"I loved her," is 160 pages of dialogue between two different people. Between man and woman, between mother and father, between old age and youth, between the cheated and betrayed, abandoned and among those who stayed. Their conversation is two to look at a problem, two extreme but similar experiences. Anna Gavalda in this short book poses the question of what kind of feelings that accompany this and abandon the one who is dropped. Although in many ways these two experiences are very different, have one common, which is the mental exhaustion and pain.


Although the book is not easy nor pleasant reading It is excellent! Emotional charge contained in it can not tear himself away. We begin to understand both sides, both right and both are equally supported and meditating at the same time over what would be our choice, what would we have done while in a similar situation ...
I think it worthwhile to spend a few hours with this book, really worth it:)
