A Very Long Engagement by Sébastien Japrisot
One of my favorite books. I love the strong female protagonist, Mathilde. She is wonderful and strong and will not stop until she finds out what happened to her fiancé during WWI.
Having really enjoyed the movie "very long engagement, " I thought I'd give this a try.I thought the plot was interesting, though i was not entirely sold on the ending.
I was struggling alot with this, constantly putting it aside and not really enjoying it but it suddenly took a very weird turn and I completely lost interest. My to read list is long enough without books I am not enjoying.
Very good historical from the point of view of a crippled woman who is trying to find out what happened to her fiancee in World War One France. Sort of a mystery too as facts unfold. Good French film.
