I was intrigued by this story of an American woman, Ella, transplanted to France with her ambitious husband who has taken an international job. The story parallels another woman, Isabelle, from four centuries past and soon both stories intertwine beautifully. I enjoyed this novel well more than I expected to, and I do like Chevalier's style of writing. Amazing that this was her first novel, very rich writing indeed. I would definitely read more of her works, in fact, I just obtained "Falling Angels", which I plan to read soon.
