## Description

The Margot Affair: A Novel [Lemoine, Sanaë] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Margot Affair: A Novel

Review: Captivating coming-of-age novel - great summer read! Perfect book club suggestion - The Margot Affair thoughtfully examines how young adults see the older adults around them, and how their perspective changes as they mature and experience life. Sanae is a thoughtful, articulate writer with a bright future ahead -- this is her first book! The last 50 pages are an absolute page-turner and tie the plot nicely together. My friends are equally enraptured with the plot -- this book is great for discussions with friends, family, and book clubs!
Review: A Tough Relationship Between A Mother and A Daughter. A Secret, Politician Dad. A Ticking Time Bomb. - The central theme is mother-daughter conflict. Similar to Fresh Water for Flowers by Valérie Perrin (but The Margot Affair is much shorter and better edited). An American equivalent might be White Oleander by Janet Fitch. In terms of prose and "Frenchness" I would compare it to The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. It was a lovely read and I felt like I'd been transported to the quiet, upscale arrondissements of Paris. There were sections of the novel where I was frustrated with the glacial pace, where nothing was happening, but I've come to expect this from European novels; self-indulgent and overly-descrptive in that way that American women writers can't get away with (!!!). To be fair, the Margot Affair is far less meandering than the average French novel, probably because it's published by Random House. Despite some frustrations with the immoral journalist couple Margot gets involved with, I loved her as a character and as a narrator and my interest was held by the mystery that was the "legitimate" family and the tension generated by being a secret child. It has a lovely and satisfying ending. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Oh, the French.
*by M***S on July 20, 2020*

After I finished, I thought, it’s just so French. A lot to do about nothing very earth shattering. And so many descriptions of french food and clothes. Not really pertaining to the plot. It’s not a bad book, some will love it. I just was slightly under whelmed.
