Kate, quelque part

by François Gravel

• Quand l’amour ne vit que dans la mémoire! Juste là où se confondent la passion et la nostalgie.• Un livre pour tous, aussi bien ceux qui ont vécu ces mythiques années 70 que ceux qui regrettent d’être nés trop tard…Années 70. Quelle époque, celle de Woodstock, des hippies, des communes et de l’amour libre. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, Jean-François se souvient de ces soirées à discuter philosophie, de Michel, son meilleur ami qui avait toutes les filles à son cou. Il se rappelle surtout cette belle journée d’automne au mont Saint-Hilaire et sa rencontre avec Kate. Tout en finesse, en nuances et en humour, Jean-François nous raconte ici les lettres d’amour, les émotions, les maladresses et les tendres moments qui font que l’on n’oublie jamais… un premier amour.

I was only reading this for French class but the semester is over in a few days. Since I didn’t finish it and this really leaves no lasting impression on me, I don’t think it’d be fair of me to give it a rating.

Part of the 2008 BookChallenge which consists of emptying my library of al those books I've bought but never read.

More like a 3.5. It was good. I really liked Michel though, his story was soooo cute!! A pretty straight forward with nothing new story, but still a good read :)
