I think it's that one, it rings a bell DomA Send a noteboard - 10/01/2012 09:24:32 PM
At least, that's all I remember, it's been years since I read it.


Weirdly enough, I've been complaining for years about this book not coming out (especially after seeing it was out in Dutch and German) and no information to be found about problems with the French publisher or anything to explain this delay, and when I noticed it had been released that day I went out of my way to go get it at the bookstore at 10pm, but it's been sitting there a month untouched (I haven't even read the blurb) and I've picked and read four other books since instead. Go figure...

It would be nice if it's the one set in Vienna and their take is good (the plot of their second novel didn't impress me that much either, even though all the rest was interesting). I guess this couple is about the only writers for whom a comparison to Eco's novels isn't too absurd.
