** spoiler alert ** First of all this book was not what I expected. I guess I expected a light-hearted romp through Paris to enjoy on my trip to said city. While it was something altogether different, it was well written and kept my attention as it wound through the waterways of southern France. It gave me an exposure to a beautiful country and unforgettable characters.
Spoiler Alert!
It's a book of love, yes, but also sadness.
