Description
Loving Sabotage by Am'lie Nothomb is a poignant and provocative novel about a young girl's precocious understanding of life's struggles and pains. Born into a world of diplomats, the narrator finds herself isolated in her own tightly enclosed environment, where she discovers her first love - and learns that to be loved, one must also be cruel. As she navigates this complex web of emotions, the narrator develops a unique philosophy on life, viewing it as an epilogue from puberty onwards. Her relationships are marked by intense loneliness and a desire for connection, leading her to form a complicated bond with a six-year-old girl named Elena. This powerful and often hilarious novel chronicles one girl's journey towards understanding the harsh realities of adult life, and the difficult choices that come with it.
