Narrative Toward Books Antichrista

When lonely sixteen-year-old university student Blanche meets the dazzling Christa, she is swept off her feet. Christa, who talks freely of her impoverished background in the Eastern Belgian town of Malmedy, claims to work in a bar with her boyfriend, a David Bowie lookalike called Detlev. When Blanche's mother, who finds her own daughter rather colourless, bookish and dull, is also dazzled by Christa though, she soon invites her to stay at the family house. Suddenly Christa can do no wrong and, as Blanche's parents scour their address books for long-lost friends to invite to dinner to meet the newcomer, their friendship sours and Blanche's already negligible self-confidence goes into a steep decline. With all the characteristics of Amélie Nothomb's unique fictional landscapes, Antichrista is a funny, dark and revealing journey through female friendship and rivalry.

Assessment Of Books Antichrista

once is more than enough

0 stars.That was one of the worst things Ive read in my 21 years of existing. Im more that disappointed.

enthrallingly outrageous!

1.5 stars. Had to read it for French class. Hard level for me (so many difficult words and not enough dialogue). I really hated all the characters ughhh. I'm sorry but I can't stand this story. I don't look forward to being tested about this at my finals 😫

Amelie Nothomb is a pearl!I love how she brings mythology, folklore or religious stories into everyday life, and how she mixes these stories in order to make her own story. She also uses the most complex theories of literature as smooth as possible.

This is a weird fictional world and the rather 'open' ending left me unsatisfied. I think with an other ending, I might have liked this book 'cause the author really makes you feel the loneliness of the main character. At some points during the book, you can feel her pain of being misunderstood by her parents and how she finally 'breaks' Christa is wonderful (it's simple and that makes it so good). But the ending left me with a feeling of confusion and question marks...
