The second in the glorious years trilogy following the fortunes of the Pelletier family. We are in the 1950's and all surviving children are in Paris and surviving but definitely not thriving! Various stories unwind but for Lemaitre the story ends in a quite upbeat fashion. I fear for these characters in vol three lol.
The author lists a number of influences in his acknowledgements but does not include Zola or Dickens. I think maybe he should. 8/10
