Suite Francaise

I ordered this at the weekend and went to collect it yesterday - out of stock, having to be reprinted !

I think Blanche Neige read it in hardback - anyone else ? Is it good ?

(LOL the young lady doing the 'search' for it had entered Sweet Francias Smile [:)] on the system!)

It must be all the talk about it on French fora! Wink [;-)] It is a good & interesting read, well worth it.

On another forum, Suite Francais was doing the rounds, a read it & pass it on thing. If you can't get a copy, look it up on there & see if you can be next on the list. I think you'll find the last person to have it, has not long finished.

Just an idea. Big Smile [:D]

My copy of the book is somewhere in la France Profonde at the moment, so you're welcome to borrow it Gay when it turns up. Could be the one you're talking about JayJay. I am Tricia on the other forum. Postage is a bit steep though as it's a hardback. A fascinating read, the kind of book which I need to re-read a few times before everything sinks in.Pat.

It's a very sobering book. And, as a minor aspect of the book, an interesting insight into the French (non-existent Stick out tongue [:P]

) class system.

Very well worth waiting for Gay. You could ask your local library to get it for you. Yes I read it in hardback (and in French so maybe not what you are looking for.)

Yes Catalpa I agree with your comments.

Have you looked on Amazon Gay? only problem would be that you could end up with two copies unless you can cancel the one you ordered.

While at Christmas and for hard to locate books I use Amazon and abe, the rest of the time I try and support our local bookshop, they are very helpful, use it or lose it ! Smile [:)]

Aha! Hello Pat, yes it is your copy then. Smile [:)] I should think it's winging it's way back to you now.
