The title says it all

I loved this sweet, gentle and deeply moving novel.  It is about an elderly  French man and is narrated in both the past and present.  It is a story of how we live and view our lives and how we care for each other.  Characters include Baptiste who, as an infant, was mysteriously separated from his mother on a train never to see her again; Sophie, a young waitress who endeavors to keep Baptiste anchored in the world and they mysterious Amandine, a therapy client of Baptiste but so much more.  This is an emotional read that I highly recommend.  Please note that the illustration at the top of each chapter lets you know if you are in the present or past.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses! View all posts by joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews
