Ed Teja rated a book it was amazing Solea by Jean-Claude Izzo	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Brilliant writing. Not a story for the weak or those that adhere to trigger warnings. Hard, cold noir that evokes emotion. Not an action story, but a human story.
