La Vie: A year in rural France

Product Information

I loved this book and I think the difficult subject matter was handled well – definitely a must read. Born in Southeast Asia, CÉ LA VI pays homage to the region’s creative legacy and cultural landmarks, welcoming guests to an immersive and sensual dining experience. I tried to explain the subject to a friend recently, but felt I couldn’t quite get the message across – it’s a difficult one, because there are a lot of moral aspects that make you question everything you thought you were so sure of. This brilliant book follows the aftermath of a tragic event which affects the life of the young couple involved, as they try to continue on afterwards.

This was a tough read, tackling a lot of difficult topics such as depression, self-harm and life in a ‘therapeutic boarding school’. What follows is an engaging, relatable, and heartfelt examination of what “reinventing yourself” really looks like: of how much of yourself it’s really possible to change, and what you both lose and gain when you do. Furthermore, if those who decide the allocations of the real and unreal are cruel, mad or colossally wrong, what then? I read this when I was particularly down one day and I found myself giggling despite feeling super blue.Rose acted so dumb and naïve while in Paris, yet in America is this extremely responsible and heavily relied upon person.

I was so excited to read this book, my first by Ann Patchett, I especially loved the sound of a book centred around a big old house with a whole lot of history. Daddy is a collection of short stories, all following the aftermath of some bigger event that is never really mentioned. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it as a perfect summer read that will immerse and transport you to Paris and beyond. A. Cool takes readers through Clare's journey and inspiration: from her childhood in Minnesota and years in Paris, to the creation of an iconic female-owned American company that responds to women's needs today. I enjoyed lots of this book - Rose is a lovely lead, there's a good adventure, fun love stories and interesting family dynamics.It is a compelling story about a young woman in need of some time alone to figure out what she wants from her life. In this book, the author discusses the importance of self-worth, finding and accepting oneself, second chances, finding a balance, and the importance of family and friends. Rod Kedward has spent a long academic career writing books about the French Resistance during the Second World War, with a special focus on the developments in the South. How many times will a woman not use her good sense to figure a way out of said predicament but rather phone it in, again three times on average. I resonated with many elements of this story and it was so easy to feel for Rose, even if exact details of our circumstances didn’t match.

Rose is tired of having to carry all her family’s expectations on her back and no one caring about her at all.

Though my life is quite a bit different from Rose's life, we are the same age and share the same feelings on family. Breaking free of those expectations is no easy feat, but finding your true self and not letting fear stop you from living is so worth it.
