Helpful Score: 1

This book was meant to be read in one sitting, which I am unable to do. I'm only at around page 160 and it has taken me 2 weeks of forcing myself to continue to get this far. What uninteresting self-analysis of the hero Antoine, still pining for his unfaithful ex-wife. His affair with the intriguing Angèle (the hospital mortician) is so ludicrous (hot French chick jumps into bed with aging, out-of-shape Antoine), that I thought this section had been written by a man (male fantasy genre à la letters to Penthouse, but less erotic). Now that one of the reviews on Amazon revealed the "secret", perhaps I will put this down and give up. Final verdict: I made it to pg. 164 and have given up and posted it here for someone else. Very disappointing, especially after reading Sarah's Key in both French (Elle S'appelait Sarah) and English.
