Helpful Score: 1

Though not terribly original, this love story was certainly a fast and entertaining read. The end was, unfortunately, predictable, but still managed to evoke my emotions. A short, albeit powerful novel, my only real complaint was that this book was just too short, too narrow in scope. I think that this book could have been nicely integrated into a larger book as a secondary plot. Translated from the German, I thought that the translator did a nice job, but I would pity anyone who reads this book who does not have at least an understanding of conversational French, as little French was translated into English. The characters seemed a little stiff at times, but, really I think this was more because of the focus of the book being so narrow.
