Happy “not
so” new month fiction addicts.
You can’t
begin to imagine how so unhappy and sorry I am for not having posted the book
for the month. My day job that’s fast
becoming my 24hr job is responsible for this. Being a lawyer takes up so much
time and the results can be sometimes annoying. Well for now it pays the bills.
Shall I complain? I think not so.
I’m pretty
sure we had double the fun reading the books of the previous month. The book of
this month is long overdue and I’m terribly sorry being late on this post. But
you know the saying better late than never is also applicable.
This month
we’ll be reading A Sudden Change of Heart by Brabara Taylor Bradford
About the
book:
Laura
Valiant and Claire Benson have known
each other since childhood and spent their girlhood summers together on Laura’s
farm in Connecticut. Many years later both women become successful, wealthy and
happy. Laura ‘s married to the handsome Doug, is a partner in an art dealership
while Claire, divorced and the editor of a French magazine, lives in Paris with
her teenage daughter, Natasha.
When they
are re-united in Paris, Claire seems angry with her former husband Philippe
Lavilard, a renowned doctor. She’s also unnaturally thin. Laura, though her
business is flourishing, worries about Doug, who seems strangely preoccupied.
And sure enough in the following year their lives change: Laura learns that a
painting sought by a client was taken by the Nazis from a Holocaust victim; her
marriage ends; and when Claire arrives to spend summer on the farm, she tells
Laura that she is ill with terminal breast cancer, while also revealing that
she was abused as a child.
After Claire’s death, Laura, now Natasha’s guardian
finds herself inexplicably drawn to Philippe. She divorces Doug, who has a new
love anyway and discovers that Rosa, Philippe’s mother is the daughter of a
Jewish family, whose art was stolen by the Nazis and Laura embarks on a mission
to track the art down.
