![]() I got the sense that he had no true moral compass, despite pretending like he did. His character was certainly complex, but I can't say I found anything dynamic about him. Paul is an interesting narrator: the first few chapters of the story portrayed a decently likable guy, and I felt like I was on his side, but as the story progressed, he became unreliable and a bit of a dodgy character. The dinner appears to be an innocent gathering at the outset, but as flashbacks and side-tracks into the lives and character of the brothers and their families are slowly revealed, we learn that there is a bigger, more important issue at hand with this dinner concerning a problem with their sons. ![]() The entire story consists of a single dinner between Paul, our narrator, his wife, Claire, and his brother and sister-in-law, Serge and Babette. This is a hard book for me to review, mainly because although it was clever and unique, it was also disappointing and hard to get through. ![]()
