Helpful Score: 1

This book is about a woman in france, who is trying to reconcile her childhood experiences during WWII. As a child, her brothers and sisters became friends with a german soldier, who was providing them gifts in exchange for information. The book is not evil, or violent. The soldier is also quite young, and just trying to survive his situation. The book's plot goes in two different directions: the girl's relationship with her mother, and her coming to grips with the whole experience as an adult. the author's style is very readable. She describes the scene well, but not to the point that it is boring. if you are interested in france, or in cooking, these do have something to do with the plot. the characters in the book are interesting, and real. i think you would enjoy this book. it is not a non stop, page turner, but it is interesting.
