Here's a quick follow-up to Michaele's August review of SUITE FRANCAISE. I can't think of the last time I felt such ambivalence about a book. Absolutely nobody in this story is happy, but why would they be? Their country has been occupied by the enemy, their husbands and sons have been killed or captured, and those who are getting by are portrayed in all their human frailty, much of it not very flattering. Yet I CANNOT STOP READING because this book contains the kind of truth and excellent writing that makes a classic. Wonderful.
