I bought this second hand, admittedly, based on the catchy title and gorgeous cover.
I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be really, really good. A quick but not light read, this book successfully grapples with very heavy subject matter.
Weirdly, I found myself reminded of Giovanni’s room, which is a very different book, but maybe the Paris setting is why.
