Tatiana de Rosnay este o scriitoare de origine franceză care promite mult, iar scris de ea am citit până acum Anotimpul ploilor, o carte care nu prea s-a ridicat la așteptările mele. Deși putea fi o super carte. Se numea Sarah este o carte extraordinară ce a fost ecranizată în 2010. Volumul a apărut la editura Litera în colecția Blue Moon, în 2016. Are 300 de pagini și are un stil accesibil, citindu-se repede. Ca teme abordate, întâlnim războiul, familia, iubirea; cadrul desfășurării acțiunii es

For Book Club!
Great Holocaust story from different point of views: then and now. very moving yet the ending is a bit predictable. but Sarah's point of view is definitely a real gem.
