Book Reviews of The Life Before Us (Madame Rosa)
Book Review: Overwhelming1
Summary: 5 Stars
This book won the Prix GONCOURT UNDER A PSEUDONYM,meaning that France's highest literary prize went to an unknown author. It is an amazing tale of love and caring - rather sad, altogether. But I wish that modern novelists would have the scope of human knowledge, combined with imagination, that Gary brings to us. What a pity he died so young and is so unappreciated in our country.
