206. The Margot Affair – Sanaë Lemoine
Coming of age of the secret daughter of a politician who has had a longstanding affair with a famous actress. She struggles to reconcile the loving but limited relationship she has with him and the lack of formal recognition. She meets a journalist and his wife who draw her in and expose the story.
This had a lot of promise and was an interesting idea, but sadly didn't really do anything much with it. Not a lot of plot but plenty of teen angst made it overall a bit boring. Fairly competent writing but went with the new trend of no quotation marks. It was trying very hard to be literary. The author made a very big deal of this being set in Paris, with lots of references to locations, but didn't really create a sense of place or atmosphere. I lived briefly in Paris and this wasn't convincing.
