My how I love contemporary French literature in translation. I vow to find and read more of it in 2018! Currently reading another fine selection from my New Vessel Press subscription. #dogsoflitsy #frenchliterature

Next up for the #24in48 - an interesting suspense novel about a murder in Notre Dame from a person who actually used to work there at the Cathedral!
