Books that I read in 2021 - number 23:

Every now and then I like to read something by Balzac. I found this book in a second-hand bookshop. It is the GDR edition with an old translation. It was not easy for me to follow the complicated story, but I enjoyed the interesting constellation of characters and Balzac's tone, which is always a bit mocking. The English titel of this book is "A Murky Business" and it is part of his giant multi-volume collection of novels "La Comédie Humaine".
