So announces the narrator of Loving Sabotage, Amelie Nothomb's critically acclaimed novel about a young girl who seems already stripped of illusions. The daughter of diplomats posted in Peking for three years in the mid-seventies, our unnamed narrator charges about her tightly enclosed world of the concrete ghetto of San Li Tun on her horse -- her bicycle -- with the dictatorial clarity and loneliness of a warrior-philosopher. From puberty onwards, she announces at one point, life is just an epilogue. On the battlefield of an asphalt playground, in between wars with the children of other nations, she discovers her first love: six-year-old Elena, her coldly indifferent Helen of Troy. But she soon learns life's hardest rule: if she wants to be loved, she must be cruel in return.A fast, furious -- and often hilarious -- novel of childhood infatuation and intuited truths, Loving Sabotage chronicles one girl's precocious understanding of the struggles and pains of adult life.Binding Type: Paperback

Keeps great time
This is actually prettier than I thought it would be and I am tough on everything I wear. Never know what the day will entail, so when I clean it at the end of the day, it’s pretty shine comes right back.
I’m pleased with it.

Very hard to see the HANDS, but pretty
Very pretty and I didn't have to remove links. Hard to see the hands unless you angle it in the light. I'm not sure if I'll keep it. I'll give it some time ..lol and see how it goes before Amazon's 30 day policy.

just makes it around my large wrist - but very pretty
If you also have a large wrist like I do, well ... try it out. Bought it to look delicate and pretty at my son's wedding, to match color of gown. Which it does.
Side note: the hands are cobalt blue, for some reason! But you'd have to look up close to discover that. It doesn't take away from the overall look I wanted.
Edit: !@#$@! - it BROKE halfway through the wedding! During the dancing, I discovered it on the floor.
Downgrading this to one star, of course.

DIdn't Work
When I got the watch, it wasn't running, so I took it to a local jewelry store and had the battery replaced, which cost another $20+ and it still wouldn't run.
