Good story ! It was an enjoyable read. Didn't expect it.

There are some parts that prove it was written in 1937.

Très mignon, très doux. Que ça soit les dessins et l'histoire. Je recommende

They are short stories about different kinds of characters and about how each of them live with or fight against their loneliness.

I personally found it difficult to get immersed in the stories. But it might be because of my current headspace.

I felt disappointed because I felt like some stories were cut short and I was left wanting more, wanting to know the rest of the story.

I really liked Twinning and Family reunions.

Really interesting. The author describes by decades the history of the buildings and their social and political contexts.

As a non native English speaker but frequent reader of English books, it is still a difficult read and some notions got lost on me.

Also, because I'm not well informed on the politics of Great Britain, I couldn't understand some parts. That would be an opportunity for me to read more about that.

For those two reasons, it is a complex book but where there is so much to learn and would need a second read. I recommend it for those who like architecture, who want to understand why a certain building was constructed and how it got to a point where homelessness got so high.
