Amour Provence: A Novel Tekijä: Constance Leisure
This book reads more like a series of interconnected short stories than a novel. I appreciated the exploration of a range of characters at different points in their lives, allowing the reader to see a small town in Provence from different perspectives and through different eras. Still, I just didn't feel very connected to any of the characters and so I felt rather underwhelmed by the story as a whole.
My thoughts:
A delightful yet thoughtful novel about the meaning of family, commitment, love, loss and search for self. The story is set of interconnecting vignettes of various characters that illustrates small French village life from WWII to the present. The author does an exceptional job of evoking the landscape and expectations, both of which can be harsh, on those living in small villages. But it the little acts of unknown kindness, secrets, and longings that make this novel heartwarming. Beautifully written and just like real life makes this the perfect story to savor.
If you like to people watch and wonder what is behind a smile or frown of people you glance at for a moment or two - this might be the book for you.
