by Tatiana de Rosnay
Rating: 3.5? I still don't know how I feel. There were things I loved about the book but things I loathed as well. Review to come. Edit: I decided to rate this a solid 3 stars. The MC was such an unlikeable douche. Just the misogyny and the slut-shaming of a teenage girl. YUCK. I am not sure if we a...
Not quite as good as Sarah's Key, but still really liked it.

But not only does the weekend bring back many happy family memories, Melanie recalls a family secret that had been forgotten. On the drive b...

How does each relationship change over time? What does each role owe another? The fami...
First, I would like to remark about the cover of the book. There is a woman walking down a street. The stark contrast of her wide, red flaring coat against the narrow cobble-stoned almost colorless road, was beautiful and evoked memories of the child in the red coat against a black and white backgro...
