Rest of Their Lives
Rest of Their Lives
Bok av Jean-Paul Didierlaurent
Filled with all the larger-than-life characters and enchanting storytelling that made readers fall for The Reader on the 6.27, Jean-Paul Didierlaurent's follow-up novel, The Rest of Their Lives, is set to charm the world.It's difficult to find love in a profession like Ambroise's - even his father despises what he does . . .And while Manelle - a home-help for the elderly in the same small French town - adores her days spent with her eccentric clients, she too often ends her evenings alone.So when an unusual request from Manelle's favourite client - eighty-two-year-old retired chef-gourmand Samuel - brings the two of them together for an unlikely road-trip to Switzerland, along with Ambroise's cake-loving grandmother, it might just be time for the rest of their lives to begin . . .
En fransk liten pärla i feelgoodanda. En ung kvinna arbetar i hemtjänsten och vilken viktig roll hon får hos vissa pensionärer. Olika karaktärer flätas samman till en mycket trevlig och läsvärd bok. Fina miljöbeskrivningar och karaktärsbeskrivningar. Maten får en viktig roll, vi är ju i Frankrike. Charmig och mycket underhållande, en bok som gör en varm om hjärtat. Stannar kvar i flera dagar. Rekommenderas.
