Publisher's Note Moranville's prose is subtle and precise, quietly working its way into the readers subconscious until we cannot help but love her characters, in spite of (and also because of) all their faults, we would members of our own families. We find them at family funerals, in Paris chaperoning students, at the beginning of an illicit tryst in a hotel bar, and their stories move to simple yet powerful moments of clarity. Moranville's special ability is to evoke the past, creating shared memories of the forties and fifties that resonate with many readers.
