There is a great cast of very different characters whose lives are intricately linked, lots of secrets and a story that
twists, moves and turns in circles as lives are lived in Normandy, the South of
France and London. I had my suspicions about Jean’s birth mother from the start, but
the more the story moved the less important her identity seemed. A few times we
seem to get close to knowing, then off we go again in another direction
satisfying Jean’s thirst for adventure, so that finding out the truth doesn’t seem
to be as important as it was at the beginning.
This book is different to what I
usually read, but I really enjoyed it, especially the passages where the author
breaks off the narration to talk directly to the reader. This was different,
amusing and perfect for filling in information and adding a bit extra to the
extra-ordinary story of Jean’s life. It is a bigger than average paperback book
but I got to the end and desperately wanted to continue reading the next part
of Jean’s life.
This book was sent to my by
Gallic Books to read and review and is available in paperback and ebook format.
