A review by adventures_of_a_french_reader
Le passe-muraille by Marcel Aymé

emotional funny lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

When you read this collection of short stories, you travel from reality, but also through time. En attendant is good example of the latter, in which the Second World War is very much present. 
Some are funny, some are sad, sometimes they are both. Always well-written, they offer a good escape from modern life.
