Welcome to Litsy!

This book was just wonderful. An 80-year-old man ends up taking his great-nephew, who he has never met, with him on a trip to Nice, where he was born. Together they unravel the story behind some photographs taken by his mother and discover her role in World War II. The writing flows easily and there is humour and poignancy but all done with a masterful touch, not too heavy. Just beautiful. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This one is so good. I love this author. An old man becomes the guardian of a young boy and they go to Nice to solve an old puzzle from WWII. Highly recommend. This was on my radar because I looked at going to Nice last year. And somehow ended up in VT on a bicycle. Weird.

Such a beautiful story. I became attached to Noah and Michael and now am 💔 that they‘re not real people. It made me miss Nice too💛

Rdg grp this week and this is one of our two bks which I probably wouldn't have read otherwise but proved a very gentle enjoyable story.Noah is 79 and having lost wife and sister is planning a trip to Nice where he was born + from where his mother + father fled taking the memory of his famous photographer grandfather. Suddenly he is left in charge of an 11 yr old grand nephew who joins him on the trip where he discovers abt his mother's war.

A sweet story, hopeful & sad both.

Harvard Book Store presented Emma Donoghue last evening. She was a delight! I was surprised that the theater was not more full, considering the popularity of Room.
