Thirst

Thirst, love and death are the three great characteristics of the embodied God, and Amélie unravels them as only she can, fearlessly and with a lot of imagination. "The beginning of love, it's always two people drinking," she says, without specifying what. Maybe her favorite champagne? “Thirst” is not a historical piece, it is not a romanticized biography, according to connoisseurs of Amélie Nothomb, it is a novel glorifying the spirited flesh - and a literary masterpiece, the best that the eccentric Belgian has created after "Fear and Trembling".
