Eliza Hall Jul 8, 2020:
Agree with Yvonne This is very badly written and clearly not written by a native EN speaker.
Yvonne Gallagher Jul 8, 2020:
@ Asker looks like very weird (nonsense)English in all your questions. Non native translation or writing?

une perspicacité singulière mais pénétrante

Une suggestion !

En contexte: (...) se rappeler certains événements avec une perspicacité singulière mais pénétrante.

Autre suggestion, beaucoup plus longue, et qui ne conviendra peut-être pas s’il s’agit d’une phrase au style direct: (...) se rappeler certains événements, dont elle offrait un récit fantasque mais singulièrement perspicace.
Peer comment(s):
agree Cathy Rosamond : Bien tourné.

une facétie intellectuelle incisive
