tvaerialmagpiebin's book

My book is "Little Boy Lost" by Marghanita Laski.

I first read this about 10 years ago, I saw a glowing review in a newspaper which said it was a largely undiscovered and tender novel. It is set a few years after the second world war and deals with a father's search in France for the son he only ever saw once, as a baby.

This book made me cry several times, especially at the end. It made me think about what life must have been life in France and how the French people got on with one another knowing that some had collaborated with the Germans.

I hope that you all enjoy it (but please don't cry as much as I did!)

I read this book a couple years ago and sobbed all the way through it. It is wonderfully written book though...I can't wait for it to makes it's way to me on this circle. I would love to read it again.

I have just finished this book and it was fantastic. I have never read any books by this author and was very impressed with her writing. Will definately tell my friends and family about this book and I am away to order another of her books. Thanks very much for sending it, I hope that everyone else enjoys it as much as i did.

Yey!
I tell everyone too, it is so unknown and under-rated. Did you cry at the end?

I agree this is really well written, almost at the end and with PMS I've been sobbing since the start lol

I have just posted this on. I am so so sorry - I have had it for ages and was supposed to post it awhile ago to re-start the swap. Really really sorry.

It is an absolutely fabulous book. I had already read it a couple of years ago but was looking forward to reading it again. Even knowing what was happening, I still cried buckets all the way through it. Beautifully written.
