So, at the end who does he end up choosing? We never know.. I’d like to think he chose Sibelia and not Edith. They are both twisted, but I like Sibelia.
I liked the language of Louis Mazzini which is why it got 4 stars, so British, eloquent and old fashionedly sophisticated. Why can’t we talk like this today? It’s full of wit. He always speaks so calmly.. so cool and collected.. without emotion. I don’t know if I like this or if I don’t.
Then of course, the memoir… so we can imagine the ending. He wasn’t so clever after all.
Favorite dialogues:
Sibella: [during an illicit rendezvous] What am I doing?
Louis Mazzini: You know very well. You’re playing with fire.
Sibella: At least it warms me.
OR
Sibella: What would you say if she asked you about me?
Louis Mazzini: I’d say that you were the perfect combination of imperfections. I’d say that your nose was just a little too short, your mouth just a little too wide. But yours was a face that a man could see in his dreams for the whole of his life. I’d say that you were vain, selfish, cruel, deceitful. I’d say that you were adorable. I’d say that you were… Sibella.
Sibella: What a pretty speech.
Louis Mazzini: I mean it.
Sibella: [seductively] Come and say it to me again.
