Adventures_of_a_French_Reader J'avais bien aimé Un jardin au bout du monde, merci pour cette recommandation ;) J'avais beaucoup aimé ses descriptions, très bien écrites, merci de m'avoir refait penser à cette écrivaine. 2mo

kwmg40 Nice to see a recommendation for Gabrielle Roy. I've not read this one, but I've read and liked very much several of her other books. 1mo
