Welcome to Litsy!

For the pleasure, an excerpt of a rare beauty:
"When children start to see, they smile; when a young girl glimpses the feeling in nature, she smiles as she smiled as a child. If light is the first love of life, isn‘t love the light of the heart?" #Balzac #eugeniegrandet by #HonoredeBalzac

#TBRtemptation after reading A Start in Life by Anita Brookner - @Simona 😘

This is my first Balzac and I found it so much more readable than I expected. It is a story about a sweet young girl who falls in love but then the harsh realities set in. The ending is beautiful in its own heartbreaking way.

Family, tea time and Balzac, what else do I need?
Nothing!
