I love how you tied all the books together, a masterclass in synthesis! I’ve gotten to see a couple of my friends from dating to marriage, and had the bleak realization that the health of their marriages was dependent on their individual economic standing, more than anything. My coworker and I also broke down a couple of the married couples he knew and it always comes down to class contempt. I don’t know how you straddle the line between realism and romanticism so well.. the more I think about how fidgety and sooceconomic-based love is the more I despair…
This is a great read, thanks for writing. The only note I'd give around July's novel is that her main character is an artist like July herself, and the way her powerful id drives her creative life resonates with me. I haven't laughed that much reading fiction in a long, long time.

This is excellent, Miriam! I've got to get my hands on those Ernaux books. She is truly a master, isn't she.
