Dark Insight Into a Broken Woman
Excellent - 8 out of 10
This book doesn't pull any punches. It dives straight in. It surprised me. I was almost expecting a mystery or horror, but what unfolded was the story of a broken woman which ends in unthinkable tragedy. I loved the realistic characters and an insight into suburban Paris. Not for the faint hearted. It's one if those books that will stick with you.
